Shadow I

The Shadow series was designed to incorporate the two basic criteria needed in knives destined for hard field usage - plenty of blade weight and good strong points. This spearpoint design has been used by professional soldiers all over the world who have found them to be extremely good weapons as well as rugged dependable tools. The Shadow III is a good everyday carry knife and the pancake sheath rides high and snug. The slim, symmetrical sheath supplied with the Shadow I and Shadow IV has a strap which snaps over the cross guard and that can be moved to allow left-to-right or right-to-left closure.

Each knife is made from a solid billet of A2 tool steel. This 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. A2 Tool Steel offers excellent edge retention and good shock resistance Hardness at between 55 and 57 Rockwell C is not brittle but gives good edge retention along with ease of sharpening.
