EKA Swing Blade

The EKA Swing Blade is one the most innovative new hunting knife to hit the market in years. The Swing Blade is an international knife combining the efforts of EKA Knives of Sweden (founded in 1882) and professional Swedish hunter Thomas Ekberg.

Simply push the lock button on the handle and swivel the blade from a drop-point skinner to the most functional ‘zipper’ blade for big or small game. This innovative design of cuts beneath the skin of game like a zipper and eliminates the chance of opening internal organs. The overall length of the knife is 8.3 inches with a length of 3.6 inches for the skinning blade and 3.2 inches for the gut blade.

Both blades of the knife are hand finished to a shaving sharp edge. The Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel is subzero quenched for superior edge retention and performance. The rubberized handle is a special moulded rubber, made only by EKA that becomes even more “grippy” when wet and ensures a positive, non-slip hold at all times. The SwingBlade comes complete with a quality black nylon belt sheath and is lifetime guaranteed.

This knife is a perfect, compact addition to any hunting and camping trip and is an ideal ‘all round’ knife for the hunter.

The SwingBlade’s rubberised handle is available in either black (CA21) or hi-visibility orange (B212). Both these EKA Swing Blade knives are priced at £59.95 each from BladeTech, tel. 01492 640 664.
