Bark River Aurora Damacarta MagnaCut
Code: BA146577Related products
Product detailed description
The Bark River Aurora represents the ultimate interpretation of the classic bushcraft knife, designed with an emphasis on maximum functionality in the field. The 3.8 mm thick, 117 mm long blade made of modern CPM MagnaCut steel provides an exceptional combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. Thanks to its optimized carbide composition and high tensile strength, MagnaCut can handle extreme stress when cutting hard materials as well as delicate tasks such as food preparation or woodworking.
The blade has a typical Scandinavian grind with a slight rounding towards the tip, which ensures precise control over the cut and minimizes the risk of breaking the edge during detailed work. The fine satin finish reduces friction during cutting and protects the blade from microscopic wear.
The handle is fitted with panels made of IBN Damacarta, a modern composite material combining high mechanical resistance with a distinctive visual structure. This material excels in stability during changes in temperature and humidity and offers a secure, non-slip grip in both dry and wet conditions. The gently shaped profile of the handle with a natural belly in the middle allows for a firm and comfortable grip during long periods of work and precise cutting tasks. The length of the handle provides a full grip in all common bushcraft grips.
The total length of the knife is 237 mm and its weight of approximately 190 grams ensures an ideal balance between robustness and maneuverability. The full tang construction, i.e., the integral continuation of the blade through the entire length of the handle, increases the strength of the whole and eliminates weak points critical for demanding use in nature.
The knife comes with a sturdy sheath made of premium cowhide leather, tailored to fit the knife and equipped with a belt loop. This detail, together with traditional rivets, ensures trouble-free carrying in changing conditions.
