Bushcraft knife from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, a town of cutlery! Introducing “Northern Land Airstep”, which is packed with the commitment of custom knife writers [End of support]

A special knife “Bushcraft Knife” is indispensable for one of the camping styles “Bushcraft”. This time, I tried using the bushcraft knife “Northern Land Airstep” wholesaled from the support purchase service “roll bright” (support is no longer available)! It is a bushcraft knife that is not only durable but also functional, and has many charms, so if you are unsure about purchasing it, please refer to it.

 

Bushcraft knife “Northern Land Airstep” where you can meet the best “one” that suits you

Introducing this time is the knife “Northern Land Airstep”, which is a collaboration between Koji Hara, a world-famous custom knife writer, and the long-established knife maker “Samsung Knife”.

 

Unlike cheap knives, bushcraft knives seek strength and beauty. It is not made for the masses that everyone finds easy to use, but it is one of the proposals for EDC men who pursue further heights as a life work.

 

Check out the charm of the Bushcraft knife “Northern Land Airstep”!

A bushcraft knife that can be used tough and has excellent practicality. I will tell you the charm in detail.

 

“Blade thickness 4mm, full tongue, convex grind” that can withstand hard usage

Uses a blade thickness of 4 mm, full tongue, and convex grind, which is a condition for high-end bushcraft knives. The blade is a black blade coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon) on high-speed steel high-speed steel.

 

One of the charms is that while the black color brings out a sense of luxury, it is also particular about strength so that it can be used hard such as padding.

 

“Semi-custom” realized only by the collaboration of “Samsung knife” with mass production know-how x “Koji Hara” mainly with custom knives!

Koji Hara, a master of custom knives who has won numerous awards in the United States and Europe. Originally, we are working on a valuable one-of-a-kind custom knife, but by collaborating with “Samsung Knife” which has mass production know-how, we are able to deliver a limited number of knives at a price range that is easy to obtain. It was.

 

In addition to quenching and DLC, which are the special processes of “Northern Land Airstep”, part of the polishing / handle processing of steel materials is outsourced to Samsung blades.

 

Since Mr. Koji Hara handles everything from the other design to the blade attachment, it is a “semi-custom” bushcraft knife that is neither “mass-produced” nor “full-custom”.

 

Anyway, the point is “high-speed steel (SKH51)” with good sharpness!

“High-speed steel”, which is often used for cutting tools, is a very hard carbon steel, which is the highest class among kitchen knives and knives.

 

Not only is it sharp, but it is also highly durable, so it is the best steel material for bushcraft knives that are expected to be used hard.

 

Furthermore, in “Northern Land Airstep”, high-speed steel with a hardness of 64 is adjusted to a hardness of 61 by heat treatment. By this adjustment, the toughness is increased and it is hard to chip.

 

“DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating” for immutability, corrosion resistance, and excellent hardness!

High-speed steel used in “Northern Land Airstep”. The sharpness is good, but it has the disadvantage of being easily rusted because it is carbon steel.

 

After some trial and error, we decided to use “DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating” to prevent rust.

 

This “DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating” is a special surface treatment technology that creates a nano-level thin film on the surface of a metal with a diamond component and a carbon component. It seems to be a technology with high rare value that can make a surface with immutability, corrosion resistance, excellent hardness, and low wear coefficient.

 

Not only is it less likely to rust, but it’s also nice that it won’t get hurt even if you use it hard!

 

“Double Black Canvas Micarta”, which is resistant to water and dirt, is used as the handle material.

The handle of “Northern Land Airstep” is a double black canvas Micarta made in the United States. It is a material that is supported as a handle material for knives, and it is resistant to not only water and dirt but also impacts, making it suitable for EDC activities!

 

By the way, “Airstep” is a form inspired by the terraced fields of Japan. Having won an award at the East Coast Knife Show in the United States, it has a beautiful handle design with a unique world view.

 

Because it is full tongue, it feels good to use! Easy to buddy

“Northern Land Airstep” is a full tongue with a blade penetrating to the back of the steering wheel. When I actually used it, the shape of the handle fits my hand firmly, and it feels good to grip.

 

When I started to do padding, I was surprised that the blade came in smoothly without putting too much force **. A knife that is very easy to paddling. You can use it with confidence without worrying about the impact of buttoning!
