About Scout knife in general

Scout knife is made of various types of steel (Elmax, Vanadis 4 Extra, Vanadis 23), with different blade finishes (PVD coating, DLC coating, stonewash, satin, glassblasting). The handle is usually made of G10 composite (or micarta), with a variety of colors and a variety of original patterns, including those created by filling the designed cavities with resin in a color also selected by the knifemaker. For each model, the knifemaker creates an appropriate kydex holster, the colors of which (holster and accessories) correspond to the colors of the blade and the handle so that the whole is a coherent set.

About presented execution of Scout knife

Premium steel as a core of the knife construction

Presented Scout knife is made of one piece of Vanadis 4 Extra steel. It is a full-tang knife with a handle scales attached to a steel body that runs along the entire length of the knife. The steel used in the knife is an extremely durable material, very hard, resistant to overload, abrasion and chipping. The knife has been coated with a black titanium PVD coating which additionally strengthens the steel and improves anti-corrosion properties. The coating has anti-reflective properties, which makes the knife suitable for tactical use.

Scout knife dimensions

Dimensions of the Scout knife predispose it to everyday and outdoor use. The whole 203 mm (7.99″) long and discreet 85 mm (3.45″) blade is perfect when preparing a meal, wood planing, or opening a cardboard package. The compact size of the knife itself, but also the whole with a holster, allows for free and unobtrusive transfer from place to place and not restrict movement, etc.

Grind and blade shape for efficnet cutting 

Tha blade of the knife was made with full flat grind (FFG). The combination of this grind with the shape of a drop point blade results in a very universal and usable design.

There is a jimpig on the blade spine, which makes it easier to press the blade of the knife to the material being cut. This element enables precise cuts, makes it easier to guide the cutting edge along the material and helps with cuts that require pressure.

The sophisticated kydex holster and various mounting options 

The knife has a holster made of hand-formed kydex material, which is characterized by high impact and scratch resistance, characterized by low moisture absorption, resistant to various weather conditions and many chemicals.

We attach the holster to the belt with the use of kydex buckles, which can also be attached to MOLLE solutions. The initial mounting of the buckles allows the entire belt to be mounted vertically. However, it is possible to change the position of the buckles in a way that allows for more discreet horizontal installation (along the belt, on the back or at the front on the hip belt). Then just unscrew the buckles and change their arrangement. Strongly stable fastening (if we prefer it) can be obtained additionally by tying the holster through the through holes in it. Of course, you can use the paracord supply that the holster is wrapped in (its color corresponds to the section at the knife).
