The White River Firecraft FC PKO is designed for survival and heavy use. This outstanding American-made knife is designed with the highest quality CPM-S35VN steel for real-life survival situations.

The White River Firecraft PKO knife is built to last and hold a razor-sharp edge in tough survival situations. This high-quality survival knife is made in the USA with the finest workmanship from a small family company of master craftsmen.

The CPM-S35VN steel on this knife is wildly tough and holds a good edge. These two features are top of the list for a rugged survival tool. The blade has a Scandi grind and is finished with a stonewashed finish, perfect for hiding the inevitable scratches that come with use. Another feature of the steel is the fact that it is produced using particle metallurgy process, the CPM stands for Crucible Particle Metallurgy, that yields an extremely even distribution of the carbides in the steel. CPM steel is cleaner and stronger and cuts more evenly than steel made with the cheaper standard process. The CPM S35VN steel is heat-treated to a hardness rating of 58-60 HRC.

On top of the blade is a notch to use for striking a Ferro rod, aka fire stick, which is included with each knife and attaches to the sheath. The handle is 4.57" long making the full length of the White River Firecraft FC PKO knife 8". This knife will hold up to heavy batoning if you need to leverage it against larger tasks.

Every handle is designed with a polished stainless steel divot for use with a fire bow. The micatra handle material on this knife is secured with stainless steel bolts and is extremely comfortable in hand for heavy use. The OD Green micarta was selected on this knife for its durability, traction, and impact resistance, you just can't go wrong with OD Green micarta in almost any environment.

The sheath on this knife meets the quality of the knife, something to look for when selecting a fixed blade knife. It is custom molded Kydex, with a kydex loop so that you can move comfortably when this is attached to your belt or rig. The kydex belt loop can be removed or mounted for multiple carry positions. The Ferro rod is mounted on the side of the sheath, making this a complete survival package.

The Firecraft FC PKO knife is exclusively handcrafted in Michigan by White River Knife and Tool where custom quality matters. Each knife has a hand-finished precision grind and leather honed to razor-sharp with a lifetime guarantee.

Overall, this knife is an excellent hardcore survival tactical tool designed by Justin Tietz that will withstand the wear and tear of the field.
