Product Description
Ben and Lois Orford are at the forefront of the bushcraft community for a reason. Not only do they have decades of experience crafting tools for the outdoors, they also have a lifetime of experience mastering their use.
The Thorn is a very lightweight companion blade that could be either worn as a simple neck carry or a backup to a large camp knife or parang. This full tang knife is made with a 2” cutting edge and an overall length of 4.75”.
These Thorns are made from 3.mm thick stonewashed AEB-L Stainless steel they have a scandi grind for great carving and cutting control. Being made from Stainless steel it makes a great blade for food preparation or wet weather or field dressing. AEB-L is a very fine grained stainless steel, tough but is still easy to sharpen. These have been heat treated in house with their own heat treat recipe including a Cryo treatment to get the very best from the steel. It has a very simple skeletonised handle which makes it a very light and comfortable knife. Adding a simple blood knot at the end of the handle made from 550 paracord gives extra length to the handle without adding bulk, giving a great feel and the deep finger choil makes a compact but secure blade in the hand. The whole profile of the handle has been rounded to make it smooth and comfortable with no hot spots.
The Thorn TAD Edition makes a great little neck knife or back up blade that can be worn comfortably around your neck when weight is a big concern. The overall weight of this knife and sheath is a very small 33 grams..
The Thorn comes with a self locking, kydex neck carry sheath, that has a simple black 550 paracord adjustable neck loop. The hole spacing allows you to add a teklock or other belt clips if required or even add it to a larger kydex sheath as a piggy back companion blade. Our TAD Edition comes in either black or OD green kydex with our logo mirroring Ben and Lois on the blade.
The overall package gives you a lightweight, compact utility or survival blade that has many carry options and is compatible with attaching to our other kydex sheaths.
