The Northman

The Northman is a small fixed blade knife designed to replace the cutting tool carried in your pocket. Quickly deployable and rugged enough for backcountry use, this blade is also great for combatives. The blade, firesheath, trainer, and storage sheath are included.

This version of the Amtac Blades Northman Non-Serrated is made from MagnaCut. MagnaCut steel is significantly tougher than M390, and is slightly better at corrosion resistance.

Steel: Magnacut
Blade thickness: 5/32
Blade length: 3.5 inches
Overall length: 6 7/8 inches
Blade weight: 3.8 oz
MagnaCut Northman Sheath weight: 1.7 oz

In addition to the standard serialized Amtac Blades MagnaCut Northman, we offer the Amtac Blades MagnaCut Northman in the sterile version as well. The sterile version is exactly the same in all other ways but has no serialization or other distinguishing marks. Check product description for availability and expected shipping dates.

Pocket Firesheath

Having the ability to start a fire is part of being responsible and prepared. If you carry the Northman daily 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.
