Spirit of the Taiga

The taiga is the home of the Yakut people, and the knife has always been the first tool taken into the forest. Spirit of the Taiga continues that tradition. The Kh12MF tool steel blade with its characteristic fuller works green wood and frozen meat alike, and the Karelian birch handle keeps a sure grip through long hours at camp. The mountain ram horn bolster adds strength and a face of its own. Kh12MF is a carbon tool steel — wipe it dry after use.
