The CL1 Cleaver was born from Expat's extensive international culinary experience, both in the kitchen and in the wilderness. If you're looking for a versatile tool to use in the camp kitchen that can also do double duty as a wood splitter or clean up a camp area, then the Expat Cleaver should be at the top of your wish list..

“Expat” is a real person. An instructor, adventurer, world traveler and many other things mixed together. While working in some of the most dangerous areas of South America, Expat contacted ESEE seeking jungle survival training in extreme scenarios. Thus began a close partnership that has now lasted for more than 15 years.

Expat has traveled thousands of miles around the Third World, sometimes with the ESEE team, but always with ESEE products. From armored caravans in Colombia and expeditions to the Himalayas, to earthquakes in El Salvador and hunting in the Balkans, ESEE knives have been a constant companion. He has been a student, translator and instructor for Randall's Adventure Training. During his time abroad, he developed unique insights into tools and adventures and is currently working with ESEE to bring these designs and experiences to others.

What started with a knife cleaver will end up ... well, who knows? That is the whole purpose of the Expat Experience.

The Bark River Ultra Lite Field Knife is a versatile knife designed to excel in bushcraft activities but capable of handling many other functions. Its clip/harpoon blade is made of CPM 3V steel, offering excellent resistance and holds its edge well, making it ideal for processing game and food preparation. However, it is important to protect it from moisture and acids, as it is not completely stainless; regular maintenance, such as cleaning and applying oil, is recommended to preserve its quality.

The handle is made from a wonderful desert ironwood burl, a precious wood that has a unique and variable appearance. Each handle is different, reflecting the value of the natural product. The entire design of the knife makes it an excellent tool for both practical use and for those seeking a distinctive item.

The Bark River Aurora II is designed as the ultimate bushcraft knife, a result of extensive testing conducted by experts in North America and Europe. This outdoor knife, perfected through feedback received, is notable for its balance and versatility. The blade, made of CPM 3V steel, is renowned for its exceptional strength and its ability to retain an excellent edge over time. However, it is important to watch for moisture and acids, as CPM 3V is not completely stainless. Cleaning the knife after use and occasionally applying oil is recommended to ensure its longevity.

The Aurora II, significantly larger than the standard model, features a pointed tip ideal for detailed tasks and a spine suited for use with a fire starter. These characteristics make it an indispensable tool for outdoor activities.

The handle is made of desert ironwood, a hardwood appreciated for its color and unique pattern, giving the knife a luxurious look and improving grip. Each piece is handmade by Bark River, meaning that every knife is unique and may have slight variations compared to the images.

The "Extrema Ratio Sethlans" is a fixed blade work knife created to face a wide range of situations, suitable for survival, bushcraft, prepping, but also as a backup blade. The Sethlans is available in two versions with two different types of steel.

Black version that uses D2 steel, heat treated and cryogenically treated at 60 HRC, which has a high resharpening capacity even with makeshift tools. To give greater qualities of hardness and resistance, the blade is coated with the new Teflon-based product "EXP DARK", proposed by Extrema Ratio.

The knife comes with G10 grips that feature the ergonomic design characteristic of Extrema Ratio handles. They can be removed by releasing the skeletonized structure of the knife, which allows maximum lightness with minimum thickness. For lovers of extreme customization, the full-tang structure allows the handle to be covered with a paracord cord.

The sheath is composed of a part in very light and minimalist Kydex. It can be disassembled and can be adapted for both left and right handed users. The addition of an optional belt clip allows the knife to be positioned both vertically and horizontally and makes the sheath much more versatile than the textile version. It is also equipped with a mini pouch with M.O.L.L.E. system. containing a double-sided stone for sharpening and a firesteel for lighting fires.
