Akontion

$175.00

Swift. Reliable. A blade as ready as you are.

The Akontion takes its name from the javelin—light, fast, and ever at hand. It was the weapon of the skirmisher, the scout, the one who moved ahead, clearing the path and answering the call when duty arose. This knife carries that same spirit.

A tool of motion. A blade for the everyday. Whether it’s slicing rope, breaking down boxes, or carving kindling under a canopy of stars, the Akontion stands ready.

Steel & Edge:
Forged from 52100 high-carbon steel, hardened to HRC 61, the 3.5-inch drop point blade is made for precision and endurance. The high flat grind gives it a keen slicing ability, while the 25-degree bevel balances sharpness and resilience.

Designed for the rhythm of daily work, the matte finish offers a no-fuss, low-glare profile—durable, practical, and built for real-world use.

⚒️ Form & Function:

  • Deep finger choil for a firm, confident grip.

  • Wide pommel for added leverage and control.

  • Sharpening choil for easy maintenance.

Handle & Feel:
The 4.5-inch handle rests naturally in hand, providing security and comfort through long hours of use. Ergonomically shaped for stability, whether cutting fine or working rough.

🏕️ A Blade for the Day’s Work:
From morning chores to twilight fires, the Akontion is built to serve. A knife for the home, the field, the workshop—the kind of blade you reach for first, and miss when it’s not there.
