The newest blade in the Amtac Blades lineup features a 3.5 inch flat ground blade with a swedge starting 1.5 inches from the handle. This blade geometry allows for great thrusting ability and strength. The 1.5 inches of spine directly forward of the handle has a semi sharp 90° angle to facilitate better striking of a ferro rod and other backcountry tasks. The handle of the NorthmanX is 3 3/4 inches long.
The NorthmanX blade is designed primarily for pocket carry and comes standard with a pocket firesheath, but there will be belt firesheaths available as a separate purchase. Due to larger handle, the NorthmanX facilities a more solid draw stroke when deployed from the belt sheath.
The blade, firesheath, trainer, and storage sheath are included.
Please note, due to the slight differences in blade geometry between the Northman and the NorthmanX, the NorthmanX is not compatible with the sheaths for the Upgraded Northman.
NorthmanX Sheaths
Benefits of the Firesheath (shown on a Northman)
Having the ability to start a fire is part of being responsible and prepared. If you carry Amtac Blades you will always have the tools to do this in your pocket.
A ferro rod is molded into the side of the Kydex sheath. The back of the sheath is covered with two pieces of soft velcro, creating a very thin pocket. You can use this pocket to store a micro ziplock bag with tinder, or some cash, a key, etc..
