bowie knives and machetes

What is the best tool for splitting wood? For camping, we think the best tool is the Froe 108 Compadre. The froe is designed for clearing, heavy cutting, splitting and beating. Full tang 5160 spring steel runs the entire length of the froe, which measures 42.5 cm, giving it excellent shock-absorption capacity and increasable strength. The 24.1 cm long cutting edge is perfect for splitting, but also lends itself to detailed work. The Cerakote Cobalt coating offers increased durability and corrosion resistance. The ergonomic handle is made of natural canvas Micarta, which ensures a superior grip even in wet conditions. The Froe includes a genuine black leather sheath, made in the USA, with a stainless steel attachment ring to keep the froe at your side or secure in your backpack. The Froe 108 Compadre is the perfect tool for your camping and general outdoor needs. Made in the USA.

Selvans Expeditions, as well as the Selvans model from which it derives, was born from the collaboration between Extrema Ratio and the Master instructor F.I.S.S. (Federazione Italiana Survival Sportivo e Sperimentale) Daniele Dal Canto. This tool is the result of the modification of the ONTOS, military survival knife, realized in order to accentuate and maximize the performance of the knife.

Selvans Expeditions uses Böhler N690 steel heat treated to 58 HRC with MIL-C-13924 burnishing and stone washed surface treatment (Dark Stone finish). The handle has been lengthened and the blade weighted to promote effective cutting strokes. It comes with a desert Cordura sheath with MOLLE system, equipped with a mini pouch containing paracord with flammable filament that can be used in case of emergency and/or critical weather conditions and a Firesteel for lighting fires.

The survival kit (not included and purchasable separately) has been optimized and includes whistle, chainsaw, drinking pads, compass, brass wire, flintlock, flashlight, paracord 2,5 mt. and sharpener.
