Spirit of the Taiga

Spirit of the Taiga — A Yakut Knife Born in the Wilderness

The taiga stretches endlessly across Yakutia — and for centuries, the Yakut knife has been the one tool its people never enter the forest without. The Spirit of the Taiga carries that legacy forward. Its Kh12MF blade with the traditional yos groove glides through green wood and frozen meat alike, while the Karelian birch handle provides a sure, comfortable grip through long hours of camp work. The ram horn bolster adds durability and a striking visual accent unique to each piece.
