The PSK (Pilot Survival Knife), is a modern-day survival essential designed for aviators, outdoorsmen and hunters who demand reliability in the most extreme conditions. Inspired by the historic US Air force Survival knife but created with style, modern materials and survival solutions.
This knife features a spear point blade with a false swedge for excellent penetration while maintaining tip strength. The 14C28N stainless steel blade with its fine microstructure ensures exceptional toughness and long lasting edge retention, while its saber grind strikes the perfect balance between strength and cutting performance. The ergonomic G-10 handle is built to endure rugged use and remains comfortable even with winter gloves in freezing temperatures. An exposed pommel adds utility, doubling as a hammer, while the innovative curved finger guard provides superior protection and unrestricted usability with or without gloves. For enhanced control, jimping on the blade's spine allows for precision handling. The knife has a full tang construction but underneath the scales is a hollow for weight reduction and optimal balance. All edges of the knife have been rounded to prevent stress cracks even in cold conditions.
Whether you're navigating the wilderness as a helicopter pilot, venturing deep into the backcountry or preparing for the unexpected, the PSK should be your choice.
The PSK is more than a knife--it's a critical tool for survival, thoughtfully designed to meet the demands of those who live life on the edge. Rugged, versatile and built to last, it's your steadfast companion when the stakes are high.

PSK Details:
Blade Material: The blade of the PSK is crafted from stonewashed 14C28N stainless steel, which offers excellent hardness and corrosion resistance associated with Nitrogen in its composition, unlike other steel types which use carbon to boost hardness and edge retention.
Handle Material: The full tang handle has scales that are constructed from G-10, a high-strength and lightweight composite material known for its excellent grip, durability and resistance to moisture and temperature variations. The G-10 provides a secure and comfortable grip even in adverse conditions.
Maintenance: Maintaining this knife is relatively straight forward, allowing for easy cleaning, lubrication and sharpening. 14C28N stainless steel, while durable, requires maintenance to retain its sharpness. It is a must to keep your blade dry, clean and lubricated when not in use.
