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.

Idun is a deity in Norse mythology, known as the keeper of the apples of eternal youth. These magical apples grant immortality to the gods who consume them, keeping them eternally young and vigorous. Idun plays a crucial role in the Norse pantheon, as without her apples, the gods would begin to age. A famous myth tells of how Loki kidnapped her under the order of the giant Thjazi, causing the gods to age rapidly until her release. Her connection to youth and vitality makes her a central figure in Norse mythology.

Citadel Knives and Swords is a sword and knife manufacturer based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Despite the country's reputation as an exotic and remote location, the company is easily accessible, located close to the city's international airport. The workshop is modest but houses an impressive range of high-quality Japanese swords and knives.

Founded by Dominique Eluere in the 1990s, Citadel has combined the expertise of French and local craftsmen to produce blades that rival the best in the world. Eluere began by training Cambodian blacksmiths to make French table knives, later evolving into the production of Japanese swords.

The quality of Citadel swords is world renowned, thanks to the use of traditional Japanese techniques and a meticulous manufacturing process. Each katana is heat treated, creating a blade with varying hardness along the edge and spine, a hallmark of true katanas. The hilt is fully encased in high-quality stingray leather, a rarity compared to common panels.

Attention to detail extends to every element, with every component custom-made for each blade. This includes the tsuba (sword guard) and habaki (blade collar), both of which are hand-crafted and fitted, ensuring perfect fit and functionality.

In addition to katanas, Citadel also produces European swords and knives, maintaining the same philosophy of quality and functionality. Production is artisanal, with particular attention to polishing and finishing, often done by hand with sandpaper and whetstones.

Citadel is proud of its Cambodian roots, with local workers looking up to Eluere as a father figure and deeply involved in maintaining the company's high standards.

In short, Citadel Knives and Swords represents a perfect fusion of tradition, craftsmanship and innovation, offering products that are truly functional works of art. These tools, while expensive, represent an investment in quality and craftsmanship that is hard to match.

T4000S is a reworking of the Japanese Wakizashi short sword that the Samurai carried at all times in contact with the body. It is a timeless tactical tool that does not follow any fashion but faithfully respects the Extrema Ratio philosophy aimed at fulfilling all functional requirements.

This model continues Extrema Ratio's purest Tanto series designed especially for lovers of the Japanese blade profile, who do not want to give up typical tactical accessories such as textile sheath and special polymer handle. The blade is made of Bohler N690 steel, heat-treated to a hardness of 58 HRC.

The handle, in black coloring, is made of Forprene, an elastomer whose exceptional resistance to extreme conditions makes it part of the "NATO standard." The black-colored Cordura scabbard is and equipped with a MOLLE system that allows it to be carried on tactical vests and general belts and ensures that the razor-sharp blade can be carried in total safety by protecting it from shocks that could reduce its efficiency.

The product is an elaboration of the Japanese Wakizashi sword, a typical blade 30 to 60 centimeters long, which the Samurai carried at all times in contact with the body, where the Katana was carried exclusively in battle. The blade manufactured from Boehler N690 steel is hardened to 58HRC while the handle is made of forprene, an elastomer that falls under the "NATO standard" for resistance to extreme conditions. The Waki comes with a cordura, military-derived scabbard that ensures safe carrying of the razor-sharp blade and its protection from shocks that could reduce its efficiency. The scabbard is also equipped with the MOLLE system that allows it to be carried on tactical vests and general belts.

Fallkniven Three Kronor TK1

The “Three Kronor” line blends the latest martensitic technologies with the ancient roots of the Swedish royal family.
In fact, these knives are the only ones that can boast the royal symbol of three crowns placed on the blade and on the beautiful wooden box that contains the knife and sheath.

The knives thus reveal exceptional cutting, penetration and edge-holding qualities.

Handle: Cocobolo wood
Blade length: 100 mm.

The Maserin Gladio Alato was designed to equip the personnel of the 66th Trieste Airborne Infantry Regiment, the only airborne infantry unit in the entire Armed Force, with a dagger that reflects the spirit, symbolism and specific needs of the unit.

To develop the Winged Gladio, the Maniago-based company collaborated with the Centro Formazione Aeromobile (CFA), affiliated with the Trieste Regiment. The blade has a design reminiscent of the classic Gladio, while the handle, typical of military tactical daggers, features a texture that provides an excellent grip.

Fällkniven AB celebrates its 40th anniversary in the international knife market with a special version of its bestseller, the F1 Pilot survival knife, now made of high-quality Swedish steel (Elmax). This special model originates from 1987, when the Swedish Air Force commissioned Fällkniven to develop a new survival knife for the technical environment of the JAS 39 Griffin system.

The first delivery of thousands of F1 knives to the Swedish Armed Forces took place in August 1995, and sales to the civilian market began the following year. The success was remarkable: Fällkniven introduced an innovative philosophy for survival knives, in stark contrast to the outdated technologies that had dominated the development of combat and survival knives since World War II.

Intended use: allrounder utility 

Blade: Elmax stainless steel at 61/62HRC, satin-finished, with convex sharpening
Handle: Thermorun E
Blade length: 105mm.
Blade thickness: 4.5mm.
Total length: 215mm.

Weight: 149g.
Sheath: zytel, with anti-extraction safety
Notes: limited edition to celebrate 40 years of the company's business sold in cardboard box with DC4 diamond sharpener

Roselli's version of the ultimate outdoor knife is now also available in a full tang model with hidden steel (where the blade runs through the entire handle) to give you better support and balance when you use it intensely. All Roselli full tang knives are long-lasting, sturdy and perfect for heavy-duty use.

The design is inspired by traditional carving knives and, thanks to its handy size, can be adapted anywhere. The knife is also effective as a hunting knife and the size of the blade makes it suitable for hunters who prefer to hunt smaller game.

This new full tang knife features a carbon steel blade and a stabilized birch handle, featuring an eyelet hole for strap attachment. Wood stabilization is the process of strengthening the wood so that it no longer reacts to changes in humidity, which cause the wood to shrink or swell.

The M23 Ranger Cub knife features a 6.5-centimeter carbon steel blade with an induction-hardened edge at 62 HRC. Remember that carbon steel always requires some care, so keep the blade clean and wash and dry it after each use. You can also apply a little oil to the blade from time to time.

The Fallkniven H1 knife is a very handy knife with impressive strength. The H1 is our first true hunting knife and encapsulates the history of Nordic Scandinavian cutlery art. Because of this heritage, the H1 does not have a standard finger guard, but grip security is improved by the ergonomic thermorun plastic handle.

The special design of the H1 blade is used to work game while hunting. The H1 knife may look different, but it works very well. In many ways, the performance of a knife depends on the person holding it. Knowing where and how to properly carve game goes beyond the knife. Hunters must avoid wrong cuts, keep hair off the meat, avoid cutting organs, and minimize blood flowing onto the game and the hunter. The combination of an experienced hunter and a well-designed knife is unbeatable!
