The highland
warriors of Scotland’s distant past carried a small yet lethal knife with
a distinctively carved wooden handle. It was called the Skean Dhu (which
means “Black Knife” in Gaelic, the ancient language of the British Isles).
Typically, a kilt clad warrior carried it covertly on his person or wedged
in his stocking top. Cold Steel’s latest version of this romantic and
historically significant knife is called The Brave Heart.™ Designed by
Lynn C. Thompson, it is a small, compact, multi-purpose knife, that will
serve admirably as an hunting or utility knife or as an alternative to a
double edge boot knife. The thin, needle sharp tip is ideally suited for
piercing, and the precision taper ground blade has been honed by hand to
razor sharpness. The traditional jimping on the blade spine is both
ornamental and functional, providing an aggressive non-slip platform for
the thumb or forefinger to bear downward as needed for maximum control.
The compact Kraton® handle is designed to accommodate a wide variety of
comfortable and secure grip positions, and its slim, flat cross section
insures that it will resist turning or twisting in the hand. Kraton,® is a
superior handle material that Cold Steel has employed for decades because
its robust traction and resiliency allows it to withstand the shock of
even the hardest blows. The Brave Heart™ comes with a lightweight yet
sturdy Secure-Ex® sheath that’s been specially designed for an
inconspicuous presence. It comes with a detachable boot/belt clip and
lashing slots so you can wear or carry it everywhere you go. |
