Condor Tool and Knife Pictus Fixed Blade Knife with Saighead Arrowhead Set CTK394161

The Condor Pictus Fixed Blade Knife with Saighead Arrowhead Set is a striking and functional tribute to Celtic heritage, blending ancient symbolism with modern utility. Designed by Chilean ex-marine and seasoned survival instructor Walter A. Matthews, the Pictus knife captures both aesthetic tradition and practical craftsmanship. Matthews is known for creating bushcraft tools that are not only durable but built with a clear understanding of survival in the wild. This piece continues that legacy with a refined design rooted in history and combat-ready performance.

Inspired by Celtic culture, the Pictus knife displays etched “endless knot” patterns—designs deeply tied to Celtic identity, often symbolizing eternal life or interconnectedness. These engravings appear on both the 1095 high carbon steel blade and the handle, making this knife a visually distinct and symbolic tool. The term “Pictus,” derived from Latin, means “painted or engraved,” referencing both the ornate detailing and the warrior culture of ancient Picts.

The blade measures 6.1 inches and features a natural finish that enhances its rustic, handcrafted feel. At 0.12 inches thick and weighing 14.1 ounces, the Pictus offers a solid, full-tang construction built for hard use. The burnt American hickory handle adds durability and a classic look, fastened with double brass rivets and a lanyard hole for secure carry and storage. The knife measures 11 inches overall and comes with a handcrafted brown leather sheath, complete with belt loop for convenient field carry.

This set also includes three Condor Saighead Arrowheads. Named after the Gaelic word “Saighead,” meaning “arrowhead,” these compact tools connect the design to the Gaelic-speaking Celtic regions. Each Saighead arrowhead measures 1.25 inches in blade length, with a total length of 1.85 inches. Made from 420HC stainless steel with a black traction powder coating, they offer a practical and symbolic addition to the kit.

Whether you're a collector drawn to historical craftsmanship or an outdoorsman seeking dependable gear with cultural depth, the Pictus Knife and Saighead Arrowheads Set delivers both form and function with heritage at its core.
