Field-Ready Performance
The Kyoto II’s Reinforced Point is tuned for strength in the real world—opening packages and feed bags, cutting rope and webbing, processing light kindling, or handling camp-food prep. The compact blade offers excellent tip control for detail work while the straight cutting edge tracks cleanly through cardboard, plastic, and cordage. Pair it with the Secure-Ex® sheath for fast, reliable access on belt or pack straps.
Ergonomics & Control
Grippy, Contoured Handle: The palm-filling shape and traction pattern help maintain control during push cuts and pull slices.
Natural Indexing: Subtle guard and heel geometry keep your hand where it belongs for confidence during tougher jobs.
Balanced Carry: Light and trim so you’ll actually bring it along—on hikes, to the range, or in the toolbox.
Carry & Sheath Options
The Secure-Ex® sheath provides a firm, rattle-resistant hold with a smooth, repeatable draw. Configure it for belt carry, lash it to pack webbing, or drop it in a range bag. Its compact footprint rides flat against layers and won’t print under outerwear.
Ideal Use Cases
Camping & Outdoors: Tinder prep, stake shaping, food packets, zip-ties, and general camp chores.
Range/Shop Utility: Cutting targets, tape, cordage, and packaging; quick bench tasks.
Everyday & Travel Kits: A compact fixed blade for times when a sturdy, low-maintenance edge is the right call. (Follow local laws.)
Care & Maintenance
Wipe Clean & Dry: After moisture or food prep, wipe down the blade and handle.
Protect the Edge: A light film of oil helps prevent corrosion (especially after wet or salty environments).
Sharpen Simply: Maintain with a ceramic rod or fine diamond stone; touch up regularly rather than waiting for a dull edge.
Sheath Up: Keep grit out of the sheath to preserve finish and ensure a smooth draw.
