 Dulotec BUDDY Fixed Blade Knife in Sandvik 14C28N

Dulotec BUDDY Drop point knife, available aseither a full flat grind or as a sabre grind as shown here.

The steel is Sandvik's 14C28N

The blade length is approx 4" or 100 odd mm.

The spine thickness is approx 3mm or 0.12"

The BUDDY features a comfortable grip (2 colours available at the time of writing, either a forest green or black G10.                              

The scabbard is full grain leather and deep carry.

The buddy is perfect for day hiking and non wilderness camping along with hunting activities.

Basic wood working isn't an issue with this knife. The blade stayed super sharp after cutting dirty bark covered  wood.

Dulotec are making their 4" Buddy fixed blade drop point in Bulgaria. It's made with Sweden's Sandvik 14C28N, a stainless steel alloy specifically developed for the knife industry by Sandvik some years ago. All of my knives featuring this steel, rock!

The Buddy is available in either 2 forms, a sabre grind or a full flat grind and with either a forest green scales or black and comes with a deep carry leather scabbard.

Without giving anything away, the manufacturer has done a marvellous job of heat treatment and the knife remained razor sharp after I cut:

Green hawthorn branches; then into dirty wood (which was just laying on the ground) preparing some makeshift "cutting boards" to prepare my lunch. 

I could easily slice through green fig skin and cut up deer meat salami for lunch whilst out doing a bit of archery.

 This small drop point will also satisfy the hunter on a budget plus as this knife is competitively priced against similar sized knives made with the same steel. The  Buddy is also a very comfortable knife to hold.

I give this knife a 10/10.
