CHRIS REEVE KNIVES. FREYJA (Double Edge). 13 7/8" overall length. 9" super hi-tech KG Gun-Kote® A2 tool steel blade, RC55-57. Top of the blade is SHARP!!! Integral guard, knurled hollow A2 tool steel handle. Knurled D655 aluminum buttcap with neoprene "O" ring seal opening to reveal a storage area in the hollow handle. Thonghole, heavy-duty black leather sheath. The sheath is soaked in water based polyurethane to seal the leather after if has been formed, giving almost Kydex ©-like water resistance and durability.
Blade Length: 9"
Overall Length: 13 7/8"
Blade Steel: A2 with super hi-tech KG Gun-Kote®
Handle Material: A2 with super hi-tech KG Gun-Kote®
Sheath Description: Pancake Style Leather
Weight (Knife only) : 16.1 ounces / 450 grams
Weight (Including sheath) : 22.7 ounces / 635 grams
To quote his Chris Reeve own words :
The idea of the one piece knife was born while Chris was serving time in the South African Army on the Namibia/Angola border in 1979. The experiences of military service have contributed substantially to the features in these knives.
Chris realized that the ideal working knife was a tool which was strong, reliable and impervious to temperature and humidity. Extensive time has been devoted to design, and research and development to improve both the blade designs and the methods used in making the knives.
Each knife is made from a solid billet of A2 tool steel. The stock removal method results in two distinct advantages--the strength/weight ratio is exceptional and there is no handle/blade join. This means that there is no area where the blade and handle could come apart--a weakness in the design of other hollow handle knives. The handle cavity is larger than that of any similar knife. The hollow handle is closed with a butt cap made of 6061 aluminum which screws into the handle against a Neoprene "O" ring, ensuring the cavity is sealed from dust and moisture. All the one piece knives are hardened to 55-57 RC and random checks are made to ensure accuracy. This hardness gives superb toughness, good edge retention and allows for efficient sharpening in the field. Each knife is coated with super hi-tech KG Gun-Koteä originally developed for use in the aerospace industry. This coating offers a durable, long-lasting, non-reflective covering. Included in the price of each knife is a hand-made leather sheath.
