TheWalther BWK 3 is a lightweight fixed-head outdoor knife made of 440C stainless steel and walnut wood.
The BWK 3 is designed for those looking for a versatile tool with durable construction and classic bushcraft style. A knife of this size will be perfect for light camp work, preparing a meal, as well as everyday carry around town.
High-quality stainless steel
The knife is made of popular 440C stainless steel hardened to 57-59 HRC. Thanks to its increased carbon content, the steel resists wear, retains its working sharpness for a long time, and sharpens relatively quickly and easily, which is important for an outdoor knife. The head is coated with a titanium protective coating, which further protects against corrosion and contrasts aesthetically with the wooden liners.
Full tang construction
The Walther BWK 3 has a full tang (so-called full bolt) construction. This term is used to describe knives whose head and handle shank are made from a single piece of steel. Knives of such construction are characterized by high strength and resistance to damage, which is why they are usually used for heavy work by survivalists, bushcraft enthusiasts, soldiers and hunters.
The knife has a 4mm blade with a symmetrical spear-point profile, with a derived flat grind and a distinctly rounded belly of the cutting edge. Such a combination guarantees smooth and easy cutting, high blade strength, and the versatility of the knife.
On the back there is a transverse milling, which allows you to rest your finger while working (thumb ramp). The knife is also equipped with a hilt that prevents the hand from slipping on the blade.
Classic handle
The knife has elegant liners made of oiled walnut wood, attached to the bolt with two screws. The classic handle has a taper at the base, which improves the knife's grip and comfort. A hole in the back of the shank can be used to weave in a decorative braid or safety line. To carry the knife there is a classic leather sheath with a wide belt loop.
