Whether you’re navigating the outdoors, preparing a meal, or adding to a knife collection, the Lynx Arctic Circle delivers precision and craftsmanship in a compact, versatile package.
At the core of this knife is a 3.54-inch carbon steel drop point blade with a striking dual finish. The blade features a blackened section near the handle that transitions into a mirror-polished tip, combining aesthetic appeal with functional design. The drop point style offers a strong, controllable tip ideal for detailed work, slicing, and piercing tasks, while the plain edge ensures clean, precise cuts. Carbon steel provides excellent sharpness and edge retention, giving you a tool that performs consistently and reliably. Hidden tang construction adds strength and stability while maintaining a sleek, seamless profile, ensuring the blade feels solid and balanced in hand.
The handle is made from birch wood, a material prized in Finnish knife-making for its durability, natural beauty, and comfortable grip. Each handle carries unique wood grain patterns, giving every knife an individual character. The shape and ergonomics of the handle are designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended use, providing secure and reliable control for precise cuts.
Care and maintenance are essential to preserve the performance of this carbon steel knife. It’s recommended to always dry the blade carefully after each use, apply unsalted oil regularly, and sharpen the blade as needed to maintain its exceptional edge. With proper care, the Lynx Arctic Circle will provide years of dependable service while retaining its aesthetic and functional qualities.
This knife comes with an embossed leather dangler sheath, combining protection, accessibility, and craftsmanship. The sheath ensures the blade stays safely covered during storage or transport and allows you to carry it conveniently when out in the field. The embossed design adds a touch of elegance, complementing the dual-finished blade and birch handle.
Measuring 7.87 inches overall and weighing just 1.75 ounces, the Lynx Arctic Circle is lightweight, compact, and highly maneuverable. Its size and balance make it ideal for a variety of cutting tasks without feeling cumbersome, whether you’re working outdoors, preparing food, or performing delicate tasks that demand precision.
