The WOOX Rock62 knife embodies the essence of rugged utility and refined craftsmanship, making it an essential tool for any outdoor enthusiast. This full tang fixed blade knife is designed with a keen focus on balance and functionality, ensuring that it performs admirably in various tasks. At its core lies a robust Sleipner steel blade, renowned for its durability and edge retention. With a Rockwell hardness rating of 60-62, this blade stands up to the rigors of field use while maintaining sharpness through extended wear. The composition of Sleipner steel includes carbon, chromium, manganese, silicon, molybdenum, and vanadium—elements that contribute to its strength and resistance against corrosion. The Rock62 features a carefully crafted handle available in either walnut wood or Micarta. Both materials provide not only aesthetic appeal but also superior grip under adverse conditions. To enhance your control during operation, the spine of the knife incorporates jimping—a series of small ridges that allow your thumb to maintain purchase even when handling challenging materials or performing intricate tasks. This knife’s design does not overlook practicality; it includes an area specifically engineered for striking fire starters—an invaluable feature when you need to ignite kindling quickly in survival situations or during camping trips. Measuring at an overall length of 9-1/2 inches (24 cm) with a blade size of 4-1/4 inches (11 cm), the Rock62 strikes an ideal balance between portability and performance. Its weight is a mere 8.8 ounces (250 g), allowing for ease-of-carry without compromising on sturdiness. Furthermore, each Rock62 knife undergoes meticulous assembly and finishing processes in Hickory, North Carolina after being crafted in Italy—a testament to WOOX's commitment to quality from start to finish. In summary, whether you are exploring uncharted territory or tackling routine outdoor chores such as skinning game or preparing food by the campfire, the WOOX Rock62 knife promises reliability paired with elegance—a true companion built for those who appreciate both form and function in their tools.
