UOE II compact (handle and sheath in camo)

A smaller variant of the special operations forces knife of the Spanish army. Full tang with micarta grip covers in camo pattern. The manufacturer describes it as a "universal tactical knife", but for me it is a gear with a very large reserve of durability and a clearly military character, more for a soldier than a tourist or bushcrafter. A straight stabbing blade (spear point tip) with a partial hollow grind and a serrated fragment on the cutting edge intended for cutting lines, fishing lines or nylon nets. In the place where the tang turns into the blade, there are double-sided protrusions that provide support for the fingers, always useful, but necessary for thrusting. Black cordura sheath, with a pocket for (probably) a sharpener, which is not included in the set. It has a loop for wearing on a wide military belt, but it can also be easily attached to carrying systems or items of equipment. Stainless steel with a hardness of 58 HRC.

On the blade there is an inscription "UOE II" which is deciphered as >Unidad de Operaciones Especiales> (Special Operations Unit). A heavier variant of this knife with a 10 mm longer blade is also available in our offer.

Forester is one of the few old Spanish manufacturers that has resisted pressure to move production to China. The knives are still not only designed but also manufactured in the factory in Albacete, Spain.
