Survival Pilot Knife

Fitted with a 1095 steel knife blade, which is a modern, highly refined, iron base-steel alloyed with a high on average 1.0% carbon content, added chromium & vanadium, significant manganese, and trace amounts of phosphorus and sulphur. 

1095 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for blade-smithing and arguably the best combat knife making steel available, assuredly forming a very lethal foundational core to this fighting knife.

Blade characteristics include a hard & tough, reliable & durable cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity, which 1095, being technically a higher carbon content spring steel, is renowned for. 

Completed with a classic, stacked compressed-leather disk handle, which forms a highly effective segmented hand-grip. And included with a genuine leather scabbard which holsters the knife securely to a waist-belt. 

A tried and tested pilot survival knife.
