Walther GNK 2 - D2 steel folding knife for hikers, bushcraft and survival enthusiasts
Walther GNK 2 is designed for those who want to purchase a reliable tool with durable construction and utilitarian style. A knife of this design will be perfect for light camp work, preparing a meal, and can also be used in everyday applications.
The blade is made of hard D2 tool steel hardened to 60 HRC. D2 is a partially stainless carbon steel, which is characterized by high abrasion resistance, strength and excellent cutting performance. When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient. The blade is finished with a stonewash technique, which does a great job of masking scratches and imperfections that occur during use of the knife.
Equipped with a solid and secure blade lock
The knife uses a proven liner-lock, which securely locks the blade when unfolded and prevents accidental locking of the blade during use. The steel locking bar ensures the safety of the knife, and its operation is intuitive and easy. The locking bar is a key part of the folding knife's design, affecting the functionality and safety of the tool.
The knife has a 3.2 mm thick blade with a symmetrical spear-point profile, with a derived flat grind and a distinctly rounded belly of the cutting edge. This combination guarantees smooth cutting, knife durability and functionality. A transverse milling is used on the back, which allows a stable finger rest when planing or fine trimming with the tip.
The linings provide a secure and safe grip
The knife has linen micarta linings that guarantee a great grip even in harsh weather conditions. The handle has a contoured shape with finger cutouts, which improves the knife's grip and comfort. The Walther GNK 2 can be conveniently carried in a pocket with the help of a clip, with the possibility of switching it to the other side of the knife. The manufacturer has enriched the set with a leather case fastened with a belt clip, so the knife can also be carried discreetly on the belt.
