The idea behind the knife
The 3DTi knife with Floe handle is with the 15.5 cm Survival blade the no-compromise survival-knife in our repertoire and the big brother of our Compact Survival blade. Like all of our knives, this model offers extremely light weight at 184 grams with the stability of a full-tang.

The knife in detail

The handle
The ultralight and stable 3DTi handle made of titanium with the texturing in Floe pattern enables a safe handling even in sweat, wet and cold due to the uniform roughness. Together with the pronounced finger protection, this ensures maximum safety. Weighing only 72 grams, the handle allows for long work without fatigue. The hollow handlealso provides waterproof storage for our separately sold sharpening rod or other items and has recessed lanyard holes. In winter, the low mass with the poor thermal conductivity of titanium ensures that the handle is at body temperature in just a few seconds, even in wet and cold conditions, making it usable in all climates. We recommend this handle for glove sizes S-XL.
The Blade
Our Survival Blade, at 15.5 cm long, is the answer to the question "If you could only take one knife with you to be self-sufficient on the road for extended periods of time, which one would you take?" The blade is somewhat top heavy due to our lightweight handles, allowing for massive strikes with a low overall weight. The blade with 4 mm thickness is ground from the special steel Cronidur 30 and has a balanced geometry with good cutting performance at highest load capacity of the cutting bevel. The steel is particularly tough and extremely resistant to rust. The Ricasso provides long-term resharpenability.
