Venado 376-NH-1 hunting knife - Mikov knives in the Kolba store.

Mikov Venado has a full tang (so-called full bolt) construction. This term describes knives whose head and handle shank are made of a single piece of steel. Knives of such construction are characterized by high resistance to damage, which is why they are used for outdoor work by survival enthusiasts, bushcraft, soldiers and hunters.

The head is made of 420 stainless steel.Hardening to a hardness of 53-56 HRC, the blade dulls quite quickly, but is equally easy to sharpen. Therefore, even with the help of an ordinary pocket sharpener, we are able to sharpen the knife efficiently in a short time, which is extremely important for a knife used for hunting or other outdoor activities. 420 steel is characterized by high corrosion resistance, so it does not require special maintenance and care. The head is finished with a classic satin (polishing) technique, giving the blade an elegant look.

The long blade has a derived full flat grind with a distinctly rounded belly, which, combined with the utilitarian clip-point profile, provides excellent cutting performance and high stress resistance. The massive 2.7mm thick blade has a flat back, making it suitable for heavier field work such as batoning wood or starting a fire with a flint. On the back of the blade is a double-edged saw, which is perfect for cutting wood and bone.

TheVenado Scout has a stylish polymer handle, faithfully imitating deer antlers. The classic character of the knife is emphasized by metal fittings, which improve the grip and prevent the knife from slipping from the hand. To carry the knife at the belt there is a sheath made of natural leather, fastened with a metal fastener.
