Because of its sturdiness, it also performs excellently as a heavy field work machete, in such duties as felling trees or chopping firewood. The length of its 12” ¾ “full flat” cutting edge combined with its 11° downward blade -to-grip angle and hefty 22 ½ oz. weight yield a extraordinary cutting capability and very high tolerance to tensile stress.
Contemporary geometries and materials meld with Malaysian and African traditions into a heavy duty field work tool which, in a pinch, doubles as a weapon of defense and offense. Includes MOLLE system sheath and safety carry shoulder belt.
Kreios Expeditions has a desert forprene handle and a BÖHLER N690 (58HRC) blade steel with MIL-C-13924 burnishing and a superficial stone washed finishing (DARK STONE finishing). It comes with a desert cordura sheath with MOLLE system, a safety carry shoulder belt, a mini pouch containing a paracord with flammable filament, which can be used in case of emergency and/or difficult climatic conditions, and a Firesteel for lighting fires.
