    Discontinued and increasingly difficult to find, the Chris Reeve Nyala is considered one of the most iconic and highly regarded fixed-blade knives in the Chris Reeve Knives lineup. Originally designed as a versatile hunting and outdoor knife, it represents one of the most successful interpretations of the modern field knife, combining clean lines, excellent ergonomics, and a full-tang construction designed to ensure absolute reliability.

    Crafted from CPM S35VN steel and finished to the exceptionally high quality standards that have made the brand famous, the Nyala offers benchmark cutting performance, great durability, and a versatility that makes it ideal for outdoor use as well as for hunting.

    Produced until 2020, the Nyala perfectly embodies Chris Reeve’s design philosophy: eliminating the superfluous to create a functional, durable, and uncompromising tool. Today, its limited availability on the market further enhances its appeal, making it one of the most sought-after models among both brand enthusiasts and collectors of contemporary custom and semi-custom knives.
