MC1 - the mine clearance knife
The development of the Mod. MC1
resulted from an ofcial request from a
NATO country. The knife has been used
in mine clearance since spring 2002. The
way the blade is ground is, in itself, worth
a little extra attention - we start with a raw
piece of steel, over 6 mm thick, and use a
grindstone with a very large diameter. This
gives a slightly concave prole, which we
nish with convex grinding - by hand! The
result is an edge that is extremely sharp,
but also robust. The handle is made out
of grip safe Kraton, a material which has
a good stability and is totally insensitive to
solvents, oils and DEET. The tang is of a
broad, protruding type and is visible at the
end of the grip, as in many of our knives.
The knife is shipped with a double locking
Zytel sheath.
G1 - Garm Fighter
Mod. G1 is a small, interesting sheath
knife for military use. We use advanced
special steel, our now famous VG10, to
ensure strength and good edge retention.
The blade is coated in black Ceracoat
8H to prevent reections and corrosion.
The symmetrical handle, in Thermorun,
gives the best possible grip. The knife is
shipped with a Zytel sheath that allows,
for example, the knife to be carried round
the neck, if this is preferred to having the
knife in a pocket.

A1 - military favorite
This knife has become something of a
favorite in military circles, where the need is
for a strong, reliable and safe knife, while at
the same time as heavy, clumsy equipment
is avoided. The civilian world, naturally, has
the same requirements - who does not want
a reliable companion attached to their belt
when they are going to be out for a week?
Despite its size, Mod. A1 is a versatile and
well-balanced concept and internationally
about the best money can buy. The 6 mm
thick blade, in laminated VG10 steel, is very
strong, and since the knife is provided with a
convex edge, it cuts well even in wood. The
black surface is of Ceracoat 8H for protection
against reections and corrosion. Delivered
with a zytel sheath.
A2 – a strong expeditionary knife
When you are really far from the nearest
habitation, you must be able to trust your
equipment. Some items must never fail and
have got to withstand practically anything.
Mod. A2 is an example of a strong knife that
will never let you down, a knife that withstands
heavy use. The reason for its remarkable
performance is that we use a newly developed
laminated rust resistant steel, where the edge
consists of our now famous VG10, and where
the sides are made from resilient 420J2 steel.
The combination of these different types of
steel gives a blade that both retains its edge
very well and is fantastically strong. Since
we ship this knife with a convex edge, it is
suitable for both cutting and chopping. A well-
sewn sheath in extra strong leather is added.
For expeditions and hard outdoor life, Mod.
A2 is a given companion.
