Shogun-5 (AUS8)
Description
Original survival knife, belongs to the model line of heavy field knives from NOKS company. The blade has an interesting profile and grind: the blade is similar to the American tanto, but the back is not straight, the blade widens from the butt and the edge, and reaches its greatest width approximately at three-fifths from the hilt, which shifts the center of gravity towards the tip and maximizes efficiency when chopping. The cutting edge has a wave shape with a high grind, ideal for cutting, on a 6.5 cm section closer to the handle, and a low grind on the remaining part. Serrations on the butt and a blunt edge on the blade side at the base of the blade allow for a grip with the thumb and index finger on the blade below the handle. Blade thickness at the butt 5 mm. Rubber handle, with a hole for a lanyard or wrist wrap. Leather sheath.
