Whether you're adding it to your field gear, bug-out bag, or everyday outdoor equipment, the Backdraft is engineered to handle tough jobs with confidence.
At the heart of the knife is a 5-inch drop point blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. This proven blade steel offers an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for a hard-use fixed blade. The versatile drop point profile excels at slicing, piercing, and controlled cutting, giving the Backdraft the flexibility to perform a wide variety of outdoor and utility tasks. A durable black finish protects the blade from wear while reducing glare, giving the knife a clean tactical appearance.
The blade also features a partially serrated spine section, expanding its capabilities for cutting through rope, webbing, straps, and other fibrous materials. This added versatility makes the Backdraft well suited for emergency preparedness, survival situations, and rescue applications where different cutting edges can make a significant difference.
Built with full tang construction, the Backdraft offers exceptional strength and long-term durability. The blade steel extends through the entire length of the handle, creating a solid platform that stands up to demanding work while providing excellent balance and stability. This proven construction method gives users confidence when tackling heavy cutting tasks in the field.
The black rubber handle is designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip even in wet or slippery conditions. Its ergonomic shape helps reduce hand fatigue during extended use while improving control for precision work and more demanding cutting applications. Whether you're wearing gloves or using the knife barehanded, the textured rubber scales provide dependable traction when you need it most.
Measuring 10 inches overall, the Backdraft offers an ideal combination of reach and maneuverability. It's large enough to handle camp chores, survival tasks, and utility work while remaining comfortable to carry and easy to control.
A durable black nylon sheath is included for safe storage and convenient transport. Built to protect the blade and keep it readily accessible, the sheath makes it easy to carry the Backdraft on your belt or attach it to your gear for quick deployment whenever duty calls.
