The Condor Otzi has a 2.25-inch hand forged 1095HC steel blade at 5.5 inches overall, an American hickory handle with recessed wire wrapping and a brown leather belt sheath.
Otzi is named for the 5,300-year-old body found in the Alps in 1991, who carried a small flint knife bound into a wooden handle. This is a modern reading of that idea rather than a reproduction. The wire wrapping sits in a recess cut into the hickory, so it grips without standing proud of the handle and cutting into the palm.
Hand forging shapes the blade under a hammer rather than grinding it from stock, which leaves each one slightly different. Hickory is the American tool handle wood, chosen for absorbing shock without splitting, and 1095HC takes a very keen edge. Explore more Survival and Bushcraft.
