Alaskan Survival Knife | Black Micarta | Gil Hibben – Heavy-duty bushcraft knife with 17.46cm spear point blade

The Alaskan Survival Knife is a substantial bushcraft tool featuring a 17.46cm spear point blade crafted from 420J2 stainless steel. This full-tang knife weighs 730g and comes equipped with a leather sheath for field carry.

Construction and materials

The blade measures 17.46cm in length with a plain-edge configuration and chrome finish. Total knife length reaches 31.11cm. The handle features black Micarta scales that provide reliable grip in various conditions. The 420J2 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance while maintaining ease of sharpening.

Application and use

Designed for bushcraft and survival scenarios, this knife handles wood processing, rope cutting, and food preparation tasks. The spear point design allows for both piercing and controlled cutting work. At 730g, it's built for heavy-duty field use rather than everyday carry applications.

Integration and compatibility

The knife includes a leather sheath for secure transport and belt attachment. The full-tang construction ensures the blade extends through the entire handle length, providing maximum strength for demanding tasks.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 420J2 stainless steel requires minimal maintenance – regular cleaning and occasional oiling suffice. While not the hardest steel available, it resists corrosion effectively and can be resharpened easily with standard sharpening tools.
