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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort and Sweet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSvord Admiralty Pattern Navy Knife (model APNK)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8\" (20.32 cm) overall with a 4.25\" (10.8 cm) blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15N20 high carbon steel, satin finish, clip point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull tang with brown wood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack leather belt sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New, boxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade by Svord in New Zealand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSvord 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15N20 Steel and a Full Tang\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSvord 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Enough to Forget on Your Belt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 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.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Svord","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67133378232561,"sku":"67133378232561","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/SVAPNK.jpg?v=1791392876","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/svord-admiralty-pattern-navy-knife","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
