You can't go camping without a knife. And that’s true: whether you have to cut the lace, cut the branch or open the jar, then a sharp object will be very helpful. The specific design that distinguishes the Sander knives allows them to be used both in the city and on a camping trip.
By the way, remember that in the village at any time a policeman who has the right to check for the presence of knives can come up. Knives with a long blade are ranked as such, so be careful, as there is a possibility of breaking the law.
Tourist knives - what is it?
It so happened that in the minds of the masses tourist knives are extremely simple, uncomplicated household items. They consist of:
But the Sander knives, like some other exclusive products on the market, are not just a practical and reliable product, but a real piece of art that can save lives in an extreme situation.
Tourist knife design
In the classic version, the blade is widest at the handle, but it narrows to the tip. The cutting edge is that part with which the knife cuts. The element that is parallel to the blade is called the “butt”. To facilitate the click on the blade, the so-called “dales” are made, that is, grooves. They are located on the sides, on the holomina. There is also a heel of the blade - that part of the knife that is close to the handle and not sharpened.
Some Sander travel knives have a hole. It is necessary to thread a thin strap and attach the item to a belt or backpack. As you know, when you go camping, losing a knife is an adventure that you will not wish for anyone. To avoid such a nuisance, they tie an indispensable blade on a trip away from civilization with a lanyard.
Workshop "Sander"
Russian knives are a special topic for tourists. Products made in our country are known for their quality and affordable price, but there are few workshops, so the choice is small. Knives "Sander" - a great example of excellent quality at an affordable cost.
The workshop is opened by two siblings Andrei and Vadim. The company is located in the Krasnodar Territory. They came to the market relatively long ago, about ten years ago. The company is family-owned, small, based in the village of Starominskaya.
Literally from the first works, which were distributed among tourists with a bang, the company began to collect positive reviews. After some time, the brothers became interested in journalists leading columns about quality knives. Good reputation, excellent recommendations in magazines and regular participation in thematic fairs brought success to the enterprise. Today, the workshop can afford to produce inexpensive high-quality knives, sold out instantly.
How to choose a knife?
It is not difficult for an experienced tourist to determine which good hunting knives are worthy of attention, and which ones are fake, not worth the money. But for beginners it is more difficult. In order not to test everything on your own experience, it is worth using some well-known tips for choosing the perfect knife.
Key parameters:
The Sander Brothers knives exist:
The former are more compact, the latter are more reliable and more durable.
Usually tourist knives are equipped with blades:
- 10-15 cm long;
- 2-6 cm thick;
- strong tip.
The best knives are made of steel:
The first option is not afraid of any external factors, the knife will not be covered with rust, corrosion will not appear here. Remember that the product will have to be operated in difficult conditions of frost, high humidity, that is, the advantages of stainless steel are really valuable. Caring for the product is practically not required. However, if the product is dull, it will not be easy to sharpen it. In addition, the disadvantages are:
Carbon steel will cost significantly less, but it will have to be monitored very carefully. Otherwise, it is likely to remove a rust-coated blade from the case. Recently made products coated with a special composition. This improves the resistance of the material to corrosion, although not to the same extent as stainless steel. But it is worth noting that the blade will be reliable and durable, which significantly wins against the background of stainless steel.
The advantage of handmade knives
The workshop of the Sander brothers makes excellent products. Manually, lovingly, carefully and diligently here each item is made. Is this better than factory stamping? Almost everyone has the same opinion on this issue - of course, manual work is better.
The stamped product is not very high quality, since defects are possible in production, and the production of large batches of products does not allow us to track how good an individual product is. But when working in a small workshop, its owners carefully monitor the quality of each item. In the end, the image depends on this and whether they will be trusted, which means the success of the company as a whole. Today, it is difficult to earn a good reputation among tourists, and once you do this, you must constantly maintain the brand in order to maintain success.
And if you save?
However, sometimes a traveler is not ready to buy an expensive product, or financial circumstances force them to save by all possible means. This is not a reason to buy bad tourist knives. Turning to the workshop, study the collections of past years, the remains of models from other seasons.
Despite the fact that the enterprise is quite small, the Sander brothers regularly produce new products, as well as remove obsolete options from the release. Some of them are quite suitable for beginner tourists who are interested in buying cheaper equipment. Another option is to purchase used goods.
