Since the dawn of recorded time men have been fighting. As disputes grew between villages and territorial conflicts rose, those opposing views created separation. Armies were formed and the Warfighter born. There has been a need for warfighters to clear obstacles on their way to combat. As combat has become more advanced, so has the need for tools tailored to the modern warfighters' kit.
Using their combined warfighting, blade making, survival, and combat skills Tim Kell of T,Kell Knives (U.S.M.C.) and Imri Morgentstern of Prime Combat Training and Tactical Rifleman (I.D.F. Operator) teamed up to create an elite blade designed for the demands of the Warfighter, Civilian Solider, Survivalist, Bushcrafter, and Hunter alike. Whether it’s clearing roads, digging tunnels, penetrating fortifications or clearing land mines the Sapper excels in every environment you can throw at it. We didn't stop at just the warfighters needs, we designed a do all blade that is equally at home on your hiking pack as it is on you Plate carrier. Perfected for crafting shelters, cleaning game, clearing brush, wood splitting and camp chores the Sapper will preform the task better than any blade you've used. Built for a lifetime of battlefield level abuse and backed by our 'Life Of The Knife' warranty. Whatever the task is the “Sapper” must be with you.
The Sapper is purpose designed to facilitate the rough use required not only as a fighting and survival knife but as a delicate mine probe as well. Locating and exposing (in some cases neutralizing) land mines is an arduous and delicate task that requires a craftsman’s touch. When probing for mines the knife is held differently in order to transmit feedback from the ground (tip) to the operator’s palm (back of the knife grip). The punyo or pommel of the knife is rounded to fit comfortably at the base of your palm while allowing the pinky and/or ring finger to wrap around the “pinky guard” in order to maintain control of the tool. No more wrapping foam and duct tape around the pommel of your knife!!! Despite being very pointy the tip of the blade is as geometrically reinforced as can be without degrading penetrating power.
The alignment of the center of the pommel to the tip of the blade gives you an intuitive feeling of the exact point of probing in the ground. The etched line on the sides of the blade help with a visual reference as well. A wisely placed lanyard hole keeps your grip free of entanglement and also lends itself well to certain techniques of securing the knife.
The Sapper has slight recurve on a 6” cutting edge. This makes this an aggressive chopper with a center of balance just ahead of your first finger, this big blade feels fast and nimble while being incredibly strong for prying, point driven work, and heavy chopping. We even took the time designing a tip to give you the feel you need for mine probing but has the piercing ability of a true combat blade.
We selected AEB-L steel for the Sapper. With a carbon content higher than most "high Carbon" steel the Sapper will take a hair popping edge but has the grain structure to be incredibly durable for heavy use. AEB-L was specifically designed as a knife steel to take an incredibly sharp edge but also have the durability typically found only in non stainless high carbon steels. AEB-L has the perfect mix of Corrosion resistance and toughness you need for a battlefield level tool that you can rely on without the worry of extra care.
We clad the Sapper in our worlds first NiB T1C (Nickel Boron Tier 1 Coating). NiB is common the the Firearms industry. It is used to add extreme wear resistance and lubricity to the steel. It uses a p…
