Design and Performance
The Aurora is widely regarded as one of the ultimate choices for survival and bushcraft due to its balanced geometry and ergonomic handle.
- Handle Construction: The orange and yellow pine cone handle scales are contoured for a secure grip in various holding positions. The inclusion of yellow liners adds a distinctive visual layer between the handle scales and the full tang of the blade.
- CPM-3V Steel: This high-performance tool steel is known for extreme toughness and excellent edge retention. While highly resistant to breakage, it is not fully stainless and requires occasional oiling to prevent corrosion.
- Blade Geometry: Most versions feature a convex grind, which provides a balance between cutting efficiency and edge strength. The spine is typically ground sharp to allow for easy use with a firesteel.
