Description

The Svord Admiralty Pattern Navy Knife is a compact fixed blade with a 4.25" satin-finish high carbon steel clip point blade, a full tang, and a brown wood handle. It is 8" overall, weighs under 3 ounces, and rides in a black leather belt sheath. The design takes its name and lines from the traditional sailor's sheath knife: a simple, slim blade meant for everyday work rather than show.

Made by Svord in New Zealand

Svord is a small New Zealand knife company founded by Bryan Baker, known for reviving historic working-knife patterns. Its best-known design, the Peasant Knife, is based on folding knives used in Bohemia and Bavaria centuries ago. Svord heat treats and tempers its blades on site, and the company favors plain carbon steels and wood handles over modern synthetics. The Admiralty Pattern Navy Knife follows the same approach: an old-world shape built with honest materials at a working-knife price.

15N20 Steel and a Full Tang

Svord lists the blade steel as 15N20, a Swedish high carbon steel with added nickel for toughness. It's similar to 1084, so it takes a very fine edge and is easy to bring back on a stone, but it will rust if left wet. Wipe it dry after use and give it a light coat of oil, and the blade will develop a gray patina over time. The full tang runs through the brown wood handle for strength, and the clip point gives you a fine tip for detail work.

Light Enough to Forget on Your Belt

At under 3 ounces, this knife is easy to carry all day while fishing, hiking, or working around camp. Its size suits cleaning fish, dressing small game, slicing food, cutting cord, and carving tinder. Owners of Svord knives regularly praise how sharp the carbon steel gets. A few note that the wood handles can show some raised grain out of the box, which a quick pass with fine steel wool smooths out. If you want an inexpensive, traditional fixed blade that gets better looking the more you use it, this is a good place to start.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
