Barebones Living No.6 Field Knife

The No.6 Field Knife uses SK5 high-carbon steel. This material is known for its toughness and ability to hold a sharp edge, making it a reliable choice for demanding outdoor tasks like chopping and whittling.

Yes, it features a full tang construction. This means the steel extends through the entire length of the walnut handle, providing superior strength and balance compared to partial tang designs.

To keep the walnut handle in good condition, you can occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil. Since the blade is high-carbon steel, it is susceptible to rust if left wet; always wipe it clean and dry it thoroughly after use, and consider a light coat of oil for long-term storage.

The recurve shape creates a curved edge that excels at slicing and draw-cutting. It concentrates force at the belly of the blade, making it highly effective for tasks like clearing brush or processing game.

Yes, the sheath is made from 900D polyester, which is a heavy-duty, weather-resistant fabric. It is designed to resist mold and mildew, making it well-suited for damp or unpredictable outdoor environments.
