When you are really far from inhabited areas, you need to be able to rely on your equipment. Some things just have to work, despite everything. Mod. A2 is an example of a knife of extreme durability that will never let you down, a knife that can stand up under incredible strain. The reason for its remarkable performance is that we use a newly-developed laminated stainless steel, with an edge consisting of our now-famous VG10 steel and with sides consisting of resilient 420J2 steel. The combination of these different kinds of steel gives a blade which keeps its edge well and which is extremely strong. Since we supply this knife with a convex edge, it is suitable both for cutting and striking. For expeditions and tough outdoor life, Mod. A2 is the obvious choice of travelling companion. Blade length: 8" Overall length: 12 4/5" Steel: Laminated VG10 Handle material: Kraton Sheath: Leather
