Our "Freki" is named after one of the two wolves that often accompanied Odin himself.
Our Freki makes a robust hunting or game prep knife made from 3.5mm AEBL stainless steel, its tough, holds an edge and is very stain resistant. This steel was originally developed as a razor blade steel and has a fine grain structure, what this means in the real world is it takes and holds a keen edge.
This offering lends itself well as a game prep tool due to the long curved belly, sabre grind and Nessmuk style bump towards the front of the spine, we've also smoothed over the bump so there’s no sharp edges on the front portion further helping when unzipping in the field.
The 4" cutting edge is set lower than normal, almost in common with a few kitchen knife and game prep designs we've seen over the years, interestingly this makes the blade very comfy in use, making running the forefinger along the spine and holding in a pinch grip a breeze.
On the blade face we’ve laser tattooed a Raven, a really interesting symbol in Norse mythology. We’ve left the underside of the spine free for us to laser tattoo something for a loved one or favourite quote, simply let us know your text at point of sale and we will make it happen. This is a free service we offer.
A utilitarian Kydex sheath wraps this one up, easy to clean, positive firm hold of the knife and capable of horizontal or vertical hang as well as left or right hand carry by simply unscrewing the belt clip and repositioning it to suit. We’ve used “Raider” pattern camo Kydex to make this one a bit of a head turner.

FAQs
PAYMENT
Once the knife is bought we complete with a quick I.D check to confirm you are over 18 years old, to keep us legal with the current laws around the sale of knives over the internet.
GUARANTEE
Our knives come with a common sense guarantee, covering craftsmanship and materials. This does not cover abuse or general wear and tear, for example, over time knives get dull and need basic sharpening and maintenance, carbon steel knives can pick up patina or rust if put away wet, left in damp atmospheres or generally neglected.
All of our knives are made by hand and as such none are perfect, if you look hard enough and study the knife intently, you may find the odd light scratch or blemish picked up in the making process. We call this character and it's what makes your knife yours, it will in fact pick up much worse over a short period of time through normal use and begin to tell its own story.
