Escort | Takumitak

Escort | Takumitak – robust outdoor knife for demanding adventurers

This impressive outdoor knife from Takumitak is built for tough tasks in the field. With a blade length of nearly 14 cm and a drop point blade shape, the Escort offers excellent control for various cutting tasks. The D2 steel is known for its hardness and the polished blade finish ensures minimal resistance during cutting.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a multi-day bushcraft expedition, the balance of this knife immediately stood out. The weight of 311 grams feels substantial but not fatiguing. The grip remained stable even with wet hands when batoning firewood.

Performance and sharpness of this outdoor knife

The D2 steel retains its sharpness exceptionally well, even after intensive use on rope and wood. The combo-edge grind combines a plain edge with a serrated section, ideal for fibrous materials. The drop point blade shape excels at precision work and is strong enough for heavy push cuts.

Grip and ease of use

The ergonomic grip of the Escort sits comfortably in the hand, even during prolonged use. As a fixed blade knife, it does not require an opening mechanism or locking system. The included Kydex sheath keeps the knife securely in place during transport.

Who is this outdoor knife suitable for?

This knife is perfect for experienced bushcrafters and hunters looking for a reliable workhorse. Due to its weight and dimensions, it is less suitable for lightweight hikers or as an EDC option. Beginners may initially find the size heavy.

Maintenance and durability

D2 steel is a semi-stainless steel and requires regular maintenance. Clean the blade after use and apply a thin layer of oil. The polished finish makes cleaning easy. With proper maintenance, this knife will remain sharp and reliable for generations.
