The 'Ruark' Hunter - Cococbolo
The 'Ruark' - an all-round outdoor knife. Robust, with a full-tang and fairly thick at the spine - this knife will be up to any campsite job but is also small and light enough to be carried on your belt without noticing its there. The dropped point makes this a great tool for hunting and with a generous curve for the finger at the choil, hook (bird's beak) and lanyard tube at the back, this blade won't get out of your hand. The tapered tang not only 'adds' lightness to this design but also elegance.
This Ruark is in Elmax stainless steel - an excellent knife steel that is produced by Uddeholm in Sweden using powdered metal technology. This blade comes super sharp and has fantastic edge retention. Cocobolo hardwood handle scales with vulcanized fibre liners and Brass lanyard tube, pins and Corby bolts.
This tool is robust, practical and comes with a custom fitted leather sheath that has some toolwork. Built for many years adventuring in the outdoors.
