CRKT Ruger Powder-Keg Fixed Blade Survival Knife

Kaboom! The Powder-Keg from CRKT and Ruger is a long knife with a short fuse. The tough 4.6 inch 8Cr13MoV steel blade is black stonewashed and practically bomb-proof. It has a full tang covered by rugged thermoplastic rubber scales to provide a firm grip under any conditions. The Powder-Keg was built to take a beating, so it’s perfect for camping use and outdoor abuse.

Available with drop point blade or clip point blade.

Pro tip:
The clip point is an excellent all-purpose blade shape. It features a slim profile and a large belly that is ideal for slicing. The narrow tip can stab with minimal drag during insertion and fast withdrawal, but this also makes it unsuitable for brute force tasks.
