Taiga knives are distinctive and versatile hunting knives for the demanding user. A tough laminated cobalt steel blade not only ensures a stable function but also quickly proves that the edge holds its sharpness very well without being brittle. The reason lies in the fine steel, well heat-treated and tempered, but also in the convex edge shape, which is not only strong but also as sharp as wood. The ergonomic handle shape provides a secure grip regardless of weather and wind conditions.

As shown in the design, the TF1 is a handmade knife with a handle made of exclusive Desert Ironwood. Like all natural materials, it varies in texture and color, making each knife a unique creation. A beautifully grained pattern may appear attractive, but a straight patterned handle is actually stronger. Desert Ironwood, which grows in the southwestern United States, has a somewhat peculiar quality: it is heavier than water, with a density of 1.2 kg/dm³, meaning it will sink. If you wish to maintain or even enhance the wood’s shine, treat it with log oil, furniture oil, bench oil, or another type of wood oil containing linseed oil. The fact that the blade runs the full width of the handle (the so-called full tang blade) results in a very strong and reliable construction and gives the knife a comfortable weight.
