Sobata 398 Titanium Knife
$225.00
Description

  Titanium blade and handle for a classic knife that is practically weightless

  This simple, yet classy design serves as the ultimate everyday carry knife. The combination of the satin-finished sintered titanium blade and the blasted titanium handle creates a classic-looking knife that feels practically weightless in the hand. The single-position titanium clip allows the knife to be conveniently attached to a belt loop or pocket for easy access. The modified sheepsfoot blade, along with the superb edge retention of the sintered titanium, has an excellent balance of form and function. The Sobata 398 is the perfect knife to take on long backpacking expeditions, to include in a tackle box for weekend fishing trips, or even just to be a centerpiece to an amazing collection.

Footprint sold separately.

The 10 Best Summit Hikes in Colorado
  Trying to narrow down a list of the best summit hikes in Colorado makes my palms sweat. It’s almost harder than hiking the peaks themselves. Ive been exploring Colorados mountains for over 25 years now and have written six mountain hiking guidebooks, and I still have difficulty picking out my favorites. There are just that many good mountains.   My favorite...

The “road” to the trailhead was like the surface of the moon, rife with ditches, potholes, and boulders techy enough to have a V-grade. The sunglasses hanging from a strap on my rearview mirror swung wildly, smacking me in the face as...
Put These Beautiful National Monuments on Your Must-See List
  What is a national monument, anyway? That’s what I kept asking myself as I rode a mountain bike down a rocky trail on sedimentary layers in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. I was rapidly approaching a lower point on the northern rim of the canyon, which is more than a mile deep at some sections. I stopped 2,000 feet above...
LifeStraw Launches Slimmest Water Filtration Yet: ‘Sip’ Straw First Look
  Its rather amazing what modern water filtration and purification can do.
