Schnitzel TRI, outdoor knife, jade

Schnitzel Germany has once again put a lot of effort into development and proudly presents the Schnitzel "TRI", a full-grown all-round knife designed for all kinds of outdoor activities such as camping, bushcrafting, hiking etc. The "TRI" complements the children's and youth models "UNO" and "DU", so that the whole family, young and old, is now perfectly equipped with a good tool for joint activities in nature. The versatile "TRI" is available in three versions – an OD green model with a black blade in tactical look, an eye-catching bright orange model fitted with a stonewashed blade and a version with handles made of "natural G-10/Jade", which, in combination with a black blade, is a real eye-catcher. With its approx. 10.4 cm long blade, the "TRI" is a compact outdoor knife that is nevertheless a good size for mastering all tasks with confidence. The drop point blade has a raised flat grind and a thickness of 0.5 mm right behind the cutting bevel, which makes both for good cutting properties and robustness. The popular Swedish stainless steel Sandvik 14C28N (58-60 HRC) used here is ideally suited for the purposes of the "TRI", and the 4 mm blade thickness allows the knife to perform its tasks with ease. The blade spine tapers towards the point but does not make it look flimsy. What's more, the spine is angular enough to strike a firesteel and light a campfire. It also features effective jimping that extends well into the front grip area and gives your thumb a secure purchase, even when working in wet conditions or wearing gloves. The handle of the "TRI" is made of sturdy, non-slip G-10 and its ergonomics ensure a secure hold in the most varied grip positions. The finger guard, which prevents the index finger from slipping onto the cutting edge, as well as the paracord lanyard provide additional safety for the knife's various applications. The handle scales are fastened with so-called chainring bolts that can be easily loosened with an M6 hex-wrench / Allen key if you wish to clean your “TRI”. The heavy-duty, weatherproof Kydex sheath leaves nothing to be desired. It has a dangler-mounting system on the back for carrying the knife e.g. on a backpack or a belt. A pronounced and ergonomic thumb trough / rest on the spine of the sheath allows the knife to be drawn out comfortably in any situation.
