Standard Chris Caine Survival Tool (CCST-1)
The Survival tool. The blade is made from 5mm, 75 Carbon Steel with a rockwell rating of 52-54 and has a full tang. Each tool is supplied sharp, and strong enough to fell a large tree, yet at just over 750g, it's light enough to be worn on your belt.
The bespoke Cordura sheath is also made to a high standard and fully articulated. No matter whether you are walking, running, sitting or kneeling this sheath will always hang by your side in comfort.
When chopping with this tool your fingers are kept well away from the material you are hitting, thanks to the deep curve in the cutting edge, making it harder for you to trap your fingers. Not only this but on the back of the blade they have rounded off a section so when you are hitting this tool with another cutting of wood you are less likely to damage anything, and also makes it more useful for beating materials to obtain the fibers within. Further back along the blade the spine has been left with a crisp square edge, to allow you to scrape wood in order to obtain a very fine fibrous layer, which will easily take a spark for starting your fire.
The blade has a convex grind to allow for a more durable edge, and ease of sharpening, not only will this tool split logs for the fire, it will also allow you to shave some fire sticks with ease, making it able to go from heavy work to fine intricate work without a problem.
The handle made from polished Black linen Micarta with Red liners has been designed with three main grips, meaning that power and control can be altered depending on the job in hand.
All of the Chris Caine Survival instructors carry this tool with them on every course
