Description from Amazon:
OUTDOOR ELEMENT Contour Feather Adventure Survival Knife - Fixed Blade, Hunting, Camping Knife with Fire Starter, Sharpener, Whistle, Hex Driver, Sheath - Full Tang, VG10 Steel, Belt Clip
Item Description:
Small and mighty: Bowie profile, 2" blade, full tang. The Contour Feather knife is made of VG10 steel with a Rockwell hardness of HRC58-60 which means it holds an edge very well and with 15.5% chromium means it’s extremely corrosion resistant (stainless steel). Jimping on the spine, the thumb hold on the flat, and the G10 scales of the handle ensure a safe and durable grip. Nimble enough to whittle, strong enough to baton. blade length: 2.0", full length: 5.5”
🔥Start Fire: Fire can be critical to survival in an emergency. Be safe and be seen. Throw huge sparks by striking the 90-degree spine against our proprietary hex-shaped, threaded ferrocerium rod on the sheath.
Be Loud, Be Found: A loud, 115dB safety whistle is integrated directly into the handle of Contour Feather.
A dull knife is a dangerous knife.
Thanks to the ceramic blade sharpener/honer built directly into the sheath, you can sharpen on the go.
Tighten or replace the threaded 1/4” hex ferro rod using the driver built into the blade. The sheath is fully threaded so the ferro rod can be inserted backwards on the sheath providing additional purchase/grip with the sheath when striking the knife's spine against the ferro rod.
Secure and accessible: The form-fitted, secure-lock sheath also features a heavy-duty belt clip, specifically designed to fit 3/4" webbing (common size on sternum straps on backpacks). Secure it to your chest strap, your belt, or pocket. Or wear Contour Feather as a neck knife by threading cordage of your choice (we suggest our custom survival cord) through the two larger sheath rivets. It’s lightweight (3.2 oz sheathed) and easy to carry.
Contour Feather is the ideal gift for any outdoor enthusiast, whether novice or expert, for men, and women, EDC, fishing, camping, hiking, bushcraft and stored in your emergency kit in the car or bug out bag, so you’re ready for any outdoor adventure or emergency.
thanks for showing
What an interesting fixie. Cool blade.
Awesome share
VG10 has been around but so have a lot of other steels that are “new” even though they’re only new in the sense that we just started using them for knives. I’ve always appreciated the Japanese attention to detail in so many areas of their lives and thus appreciate their approach to steel as well.
Blade stool 😂😂😂. thanks for reviewing 🔥🔥
The round hole in the blade is for extra control when using the blade for finer control and the hex hole is meant to be for the ferro stick on the sheath.
Thank YOU 🙏🏼 🙌🏼💜✊🏼!!! I knew someone would know🙌🏼
@@Jevans_Knifeaddict_Lifesure thing! Hey, what angle do you think this blade is at for sharpening? 20 degree angle?
One of the first things I did after using the knife for a week was to grind off the grooves at the back and make the whole thing a 90 degree spine with a nice burr. As designed the striking surface is too small - works way better ground back and burred. I took the clip off and removed the inner small clip. Out of the box you cannot put it on a leather belt - tore my belt struggling to take it off. I put the reshaped clip back on but mostly have the knife on a neck cord. I completely reground the bevel angle to get a much better shaving cut on fuzz sticks. Take the ferro rod out and screw it in on the other end of the fitting for a longer strike into a tinder nest - also allows you to follow around the rod for even wear. A better design would be a fold out rod so you don't have to screw and unscrew. The ceramic sharpener is only for touch ups - you will need a good diamond dust file for the VG10 steel - a regular Nicholson just skates across it. Overall I like the knife - should be a good skinning blade, good survival piece - just needs a few changes.
sounds like you would make a good youtube video
The hex bit hole in the blade is to remove the ferro rod.
Thank you!! It could also drive bits in a “pinch”, I would imagine? Thank you for watching and clarifying 🙌🏼💜✊🏼!!
Spyderco doesn't even offer vg10 for less than $90 for the most basic folder.
Is the belt clip removable from sheath in case I want to use it exclusively as a neck knife?
Enan, it is not, without popping it off the rivits you could not remove it. It is a flat clip that you would not notice if wearing as a neck knife and the clip works very well for in pocket or out of pocket carry.
You could realistically “pop” the clip off of the rivits, but could not put it back on😔
Here is an affiliate link with a bunch of pictures. The clip is hard to see, but image of “pack” shows it: amzn.to/4c1VkTG
@@Jevans_Knifeaddict_Lifeit is removable. Very small screws. I removed mine as soon as I got it.
