So, the snow knife and saw kit arrived this past week.
Wow, how big and heavy it is. The blades are easily 1/8" of an inch thick. The handle on the saw is huge and for an obvious reason, you might be wearing arctic mittens.
The knife is a meaty weapon reminding me of the machette in the Ferret kit. The file to sharpen them both has a gorgeous synthetic handle.
I find it interesting that there are no makers marks on the sheath / scabbard material at all and the file appears too long for the pocket for the press stud to close.
Both the knife and the saw teeth are worthy of a being used for field surgery in an improvised situation. Lethal.
The blades have a stamped letter and number that I didnt capture very well.
