This Bison Bushcraft Knife is made from Japanese Hi Carbon Rainbow Damascus steel.
This is a new steel for me, but I'm already impressed by it's amazing cutting performance. The colourful layers supporting the inner layer of high carbon steel shine out near the spine and on the bevel. Etched all around the tang you can see the core of the steel and fine lines of colour.
Yu-Shoku is pre-laminated with a V-Toku2 carbon steel core with mokume cladding (forged from copper, brass and stainless steel). DPS (depletion prevention system) adds a thin nickel shim between the core steel and the cladding.
The handle on this one is stabilised Elm Burr over Red Ocre liners and Sambar Stag Bolsters, all held in place with Stainless Steel pins and lanyard tube.
A 27 degree scandi grind edge and the centre core at 63 hrc should give superior performance.
This one has a veg tan neck carry pouch.
Blade thickness 3.2 mm
Blade length 90mm
Overall length 200mm
