What's a Jaeger? For starters it's the
German word for "hunter", but the knife was actually named after the
hawk-like bird named "Jaeger" that nests near the Alaska hunting and
fishing lodge and is incredibly sleek and streamlined - just like
our knife. The name is fitting when applied either from the German
language perspective or in honor of the bird. This is possibly the
most beautiful and sleekest knife we have ever made. Made as a
premier boning and capping knife, the Jaeger is 8-1/4" overall and
has a 3-1/2" cutting edge. Just shy of 1/8" thick (.118"), the blade
steel is highly
prized ATS-34, a premium grade stainless steel. The blades, treated
with cryogenic (deep freeze) and double-tempering process and ata
Rockwell of 58-60, will hold an incredible edge. The non-slip ridges
on the back of the blade will give you comfortable platform on which
to place either your forefinger or thumb while using the knife.
Also, the individual finger grooves and deep front coil provide a
comfortable and positive grip. The blade is full-tang and
double-riveted, with a brass lanyard sleeve so the handle scales are
securely fastened to the blade. This is a knife that is lightweight
and easy to carry but incredibly versatile and strong. The Jaeger is
large enough to butcher a moose in the Alaskan brush, yet small
enough to comfortably field-dress small game and fillet fish. This
is a great looking knife and is available in either black rubberized
"Suregrip," desert ironwood, G-10 micarta or genuine stag handles.
The sheath is made from genuine 100% American split grain cowhide,
vegetable tanned then oiled (so your high quality knives won`t rust
in the sheath!). We designed the sheath to hang at about 45 degrees
off your belt. This eliminates the problem of the sheath point
poking into the seat or ground, or the handle jabbing you in the
ribs while you are seated. |
