Choosing properly constructed tools for the hunt will make for an enjoyable experience and ensure safety during hunting expeditions. The hunting knife HK1 is a high-quality knife designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters who need a reliable tool for their adventures. This knife features a sharp, carbon steel blade that is durable and able to withstand tough conditions.

The handle of the HK1 is made of ergonomic, non-slip material for a comfortable grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. The full tang design ensures maximum strength and durability, allowing the knife to handle heavy-duty tasks without bending or breaking.

The hunting knife HK1 also comes with a sturdy, protective sheath for safe and convenient storage and transport. This knife is a great choice for camping, hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities, as well as for everyday use around the home and garden.

Knife Blade Type
The knife blade has a special form for easier work with meat or fish. Similar to the compact size of the bushcraft knife, the hunting knife HK1 is easy to carry on a belt, backpack, or bag. With a full tang construction, it is a durable and reliable helper on vacation as well as in the wild.

A full tang blade construction makes knives more durable than those with partial tangs, as the blade extends the entire length of the handle. This design provides extra strength and stability, allowing hunting knife HK1 to withstand heavy use without bending or breaking.

Thanks to a full tang blade, hunting knife HK1 is well-balanced, as the weight of the blade is evenly distributed throughout the handle. This makes it easier to control and reduces the risk of wrist fatigue during use.

Full tang knives such as hunting knife HK1 are versatile and can be used for a variety of tasks, including heavy-duty cutting, chopping, and slicing. They are also ideal for outdoor activities such as hunting, camping, and survival situations.

Sharpening Type
This hunting knife has a Scandi grind characterized by a flat bevel extending from the blade’s edge to the spine, with the bevel angle typically ranging from 10 to 20 degrees.

One of the advantages of the Scandi grind is its versatility in working with different types of materials and at different temperatures. The flat bevel provides a wide surface area for the blade to contact the materials, making it easier to make precise cuts and control the depth of the cut. This makes it ideal for working with hardwoods and even frozen wood.

Additionally, the Scandi grind’s wide bevel angle allows it to be easily sharpened and maintained, which is especially important when working in cold environments where blades can become dull quickly.

Scandi grind is a popular choice for hunting and bushcraft knives like HK1 due to its versatility and ease of use in a variety of conditions.

Blade Material
The blade is made of 1066 carbon steel, hardened to 57-59 HRC. 1066 carbon steel is a high-quality steel is known for its toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

One of the advantages of carbon steel is its ability to hold a sharp edge for longer periods of time compared to other types of steel. Additionally, the hardness of the blade is an important factor in determining its performance. A hardness rating of 57-59 HRC is considered to be a good balance between toughness and edge retention.

However, it is worth noting that carbon steel requires more maintenance than other steel types. It is more susceptible to rust and corrosion, so keeping the blade clean and dry after use is important. Additionally, carbon steel blades should be sharpened regularly to maintain their sharpness and performance.

Handle Design
Hunting knife HK1 has an ergonomic handle made of walnut. This hardwood is durable, lightweight, and has a beautiful natural grain pattern. The use of Danish oil to cover the handle is also a great choice, as it provides a protective coating that can withstand moisture and dirt.

Danish oil is a popular finish for wooden objects as it penetrates deep into the wood fibers, providing protection from the inside out. It contains a blend of oils, resins, and solvents that create a hard-wearing surface that resists scratches, water, and stains.

The combination of walnut wood and Danish oil on the hunting knife HK1 makes the handle of the camping knife both beautiful and functional. The natural grain pattern of the walnut provides an attractive appearance, while the Danish oil protects it from the elements. This makes the hunting knife HK1 ideal for use in outdoor environments where the knife may be exposed to moisture and dirt.

The handle is fixed with Corby bolts. It can be easily unscrewed in order to clean the knife.
