The Ultimate is a fixed-blade hunting knife that’s packed with additional features for outdoor survival. First, the basics: It’s built around a stout 4.8-inch drop point blade crafted from 7Cr stainless steel, and it has a full-tang construction for excellent strength and good weight balance. The blade is smooth towards the end and has a serrated section closer to the handle, so you can use it for both slicing and sawing. No matter what you’re cutting, the handle’s textured rubber grip creates a comfortable feel in the hand.
This knife really sets itself apart thanks to its helpful additional features for bushcraft and outdoor survival. The knife ships with a sturdy sheath that has an integrated blade sharpener and a ferrocerium rod for creating sparks to light a fire (the knife blade has a dedicated spot for striking the rod to create sparks). In addition, the handle has a lanyard with a whistle for getting rescuers’ attention in an emergency.
