Fallkniven TH1 – Taiga Hunter
Taiga knives are discreet hunting and all-round knives for the discerning user. A strong laminated cobalt steel blade not only means stable operation, but notice very quickly that the edge holds its sharpness very well without being brittle. The reason is the thin, well-machined and heat-treated steel but also the curved edge that is not only strong but also sharp to the wood. The ergonomic shape of the handle provides a secure hold from weather and wind.
As shown in the drawing, the TH1 is a handmade knife with a handle in the very exclusive desert ironwood (lat. Olneya tesota). This species is not listed on the CITES Appendices or the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and is therefore legal for use. Like all natural materials, it varies in texture and color, making each knife a unique creation. A beautiful vein pattern may look attractive, but a straight, patterned handle is actually stronger. Desert ironwood, which grows in the southwestern United States, has a very great quality – it is heavier than water, its density is 1.2 kg/dm³ which means it will sink. If you want to maintain or even increase the gloss on the wood, treat it with log oil, furniture oil, bench oil, or another type of wood oil that contains linseed oil.
The cases
What is a little special about these knives is the very secure plastic sheath where a specially designed safety system ensures that the knife is properly secured when placed in the sheath. Works from weather and wind, sand or snow.
