New old stock and only one available.

The Sobol-L (Large) is a practical skinning knife with full tang and Caucasian walnut handle.

MATERIALS

• Blade: 100mm long, flat ground.
• Handle: full tang with walnut scales.
• Leather sheath.

The knife features a uniquely formed grip, which is contoured for individual finger grip but also for the swell of the hand forming a coke bottle shape that fits comfortably in the hand.

The blade is of full tang construction and is both epoxy fastened and riveted to the knife tang.
A special construction process is utilised to avoid splitting of the wood. This being that the handle slabs are cut on an angle so that the wood grain runs at a bisecting angle in respect to the surface of the handle slab preventing cracking. The wood is also impregnated with natural oils that preserve it and prevent warping.

The blade is mirror polished and then deep etched using several treatments of an acid etching process that yields a detailed 3 dimensional picture. The depth of the etching offsets the wearing-off of the image over time and prolonged use. The image is then completed with hand engraving to render a finer detail.

Total length: 322mm
Blade: 182mm

Steel: Z60 French high carbon, rust resistant steel (57-58 HRC)

A great sized Hunting and Skinning knife and it comes with a really solid Brown Leather Belt Sheath with retaining stud.
