NIKOV KNIVES
Knife was created as “one tool option” bushcraft, survival tool. Symmetrical, leaf shape blade for better working with the centered tip, broad curve of the cutting edge, high convex grind and ergonomic handle with no hot spots. The tang is protruding from the end of the handle as a striking pommel, if that is needed in extreme situations or if you decide to split a piece of wood with batoning and at one point you need to tap the end of the handle. Sometimes in order to lighten the knife, I perform the knife with tapered tang. In that case there is no striking option because the scales cover the whole tang. The sheath that I make for that knife allows both carry ways – right or left, very often equipped with loop for matching fire steel. This model I like most lately.
