Empire Knife

Full-tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle to the pommel. This design provides superior structural integrity, making the knife much less likely to snap or break when you are performing heavy-duty tasks like batoning wood.

Yes, the rubberized grip is designed to absorb shock and prevent slipping, which is particularly helpful in wet or cold conditions. The integrated finger guard also adds a layer of safety, keeping your hand secure even during repetitive cutting motions.

The blade features both a straight edge and a serrated section, giving you two tools in one. The straight edge is ideal for fine slicing and carving, while the serrated portion excels at sawing through tougher materials like rope, webbing, or fibrous wood.

The included sheath is designed specifically for this knife to ensure a snug, secure fit. It protects the blade edge when not in use and allows you to safely attach the knife to your gear or belt for quick access.

To use the ferro rod, you strike the back of the knife blade against the rod to create sparks. Because the knife is a fixed-blade tool, it provides a stable platform to generate the necessary friction to ignite your tinder.

The included sharpening stone is primarily designed for maintaining the straight edge of the blade. For the serrated section, you would typically need a tapered diamond rod or a specialized serration sharpener to properly hone those specific teeth.
