Product description

About this product

Grylls Folding Sheath Knife – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

The one you actually carry.

A fixed blade is the better tool and the worse companion: it is bulky on a belt and awkward in a pocket. This folds to under five inches and rides in a nylon sheath on your belt or in a pack, which means it is with you when a job turns up rather than back at camp.

The blade is a 3.6 inch drop point, half serrated and half plain. The serrated section cuts rope, webbing and seatbelt far faster than a plain edge; the plain section handles everything else. Thumb studs on both sides open it one-handed, either hand, and a lockback holds it open.

The handle is textured rubber, which is the part that matters when your hands are wet or cold.

  • A second knife alongside a fixed blade
  • Anyone who wants a Bear Grylls knife without the bulk of the Ultimate

Note: unlike the fixed-blade Ultimate, this model has no fire starter, no sharpener and no whistle. It is the knife on its own with a sheath and the pocket guide.

Questions

Good to know

How does this differ from the Ultimate fixed blade?

Size and kit. The Ultimate is a full-tang fixed blade with a fire starter, sharpener and whistle built into its sheath, and it is the better tool for heavy camp work. This folds to five inches and carries easily, with no extras. Many people own both and carry this one.

Why half serrated?

Because the two halves do different jobs. Serrations tear through rope, webbing, netting and seatbelt far faster than a plain edge, which matters on a boat. The plain section does food, carving and anything needing a clean cut. The compromise is that the serrated part needs specialist sharpening.

Can I sharpen the serrated part myself?

Not on a flat stone. Serrations need a tapered round file or a dedicated serrated sharpener, worked one scallop at a time from the flat back side. The plain half sharpens normally. Many owners simply keep the plain half sharp and let the serrations run, since they stay usable much longer.

Is a lockback strong enough?

For a knife this size, yes. Lockbacks are a proven design and this one engages positively. As with any folding knife, it is not a prying tool: the lock resists the blade closing on your fingers under normal cutting load, not under twisting.

Is it legal to carry here?

A folding knife in a pack with camping or fishing kit is ordinary use. Carrying any knife on your person in town invites questions regardless of type. Keep it with your gear in transit.

How do I look after it?

Rinse and dry the pivot after salt water, then a drop of light oil in the joint, because a seized pivot is what ends folding knives at the coast. Keep grit out of the lock. Dry the sheath before storing the knife in it.
