If you’re not familiar with the Chris Caine Survival Knife, you should be. You may even ask, “Who is Chris Caine?”
Chris Caine is a survival instructor living in the United Kingdom. He is also a consultant on survival related topics and has been featured in national newspapers and on national television.
Starting around the age of seven, Caine immersed himself in survival training. Caine was also granted the privilege of having a father who was a survival expert with the British Special Forces. Combining his own personal interest with his father’s professional training, Caine developed an uncanny ability to live off the land.
Through years of training, practical application, and the chance to meet John “Lofty” Wiseman; who is regarded as the Godfather of Survival Training, Caine has been able to develop and design an array of high-quality survival knives based upon his years of experience.

This knife had no problems when batoning hardwood and even stood up to being abused beyond normal. Without question — this knife is stout.
Leather Sheath
The Chris Caine Survival Knife comes with a custom fitted full leather sheath. One of the unique features of the sheath is its security flap.

The flap design is just one more example of the thought that has gone into the overall knife and sheath design.
