SaberCut Folder & Camp AX Knives

SaberCut Folder & Camp AX Knives

American based Ultimate Survival Technologies (UST) offer a diverse line of personal safety and survival tools. Now through the SaberCut brand they offer survival blades – the two featured here being prime examples of the company’s offerings – a folding utility knife and a camping axe. Both feature ergonomic and practical bead blasted texture, high density TPR (Thermo Plastic Rubber) handles for a secure grip in cold and rain. Also both are manufactured from 440HC Stainless Steel.

Folder

First up is the 3.5” Folding Knife with ‘Biner Clip’. It measures 5 ¾” in the closed position and 9 7/16” when the 3 ½” Titanium coated clip point, part serrated edge blade is deployed. Weighing in at only 4.4oz it’s surprisingly light. The slab sided handles also feature a generous forefinger choil and the back has ‘jimping’ or ridging along the spine. Similarly the blade also has ridging on the spine and is easy to open one-handed thanks to an ambidextrous thumbstud. The blade is extremely easy to control for large or small cutting jobs, and is an impressive 3mm thick, so obviously capable of a good amount of rugged use.

An integral ‘Carabineer’ Clip is a handy feature but doesn’t affect grip. I found it surprisingly useful for times I used the knife and required a quick convenient way to clip it (when closed) either to my person or pack – more sensible than leaving it exposed on the ground. A very nice feature is the very strong liner lock mechanism that holds the blade rock solid.

Camp AX

The Camp AX (yes that’s how it’s spelt) measures 11.75” X 4.1” with the axe head offering a full 3.5” cutting edge. At 1.1lbs, it’s surprisingly light which has been partially achieved by the ‘cut outs’ seen in the handle’s upper exposed arm. This also results in making the ‘AX’ very easy to wield and due to the generous length offers a good deal of leverage for using the specially designed head for prying and wedging. The 5mm thick stainless steel has a black oxide coating to further protect the exposed metal from rust and helps the ‘chopping’ blade retain an edge. The ‘AX’ has a strong wrist lanyard cord and comes with a full-cover nylon blade sheath with press stud closure and a rear belt loop.

The SaberCut 3.5” Folder with Biner Clip is priced at £24.95 while the SaberCut Camp AX costs £39.95 respectively, including Limited Lifetime Warranty. For nearest stockists contact Whitby & Co 01539 721032 or visit www.whitbyandco.co.uk
