Brave Heart:
-Weight 2.8 oz.
-Blade Length 4"
-Blade Thickness 2.8MM.
-Overall 7.75"
-Made in Japan Aus-8A Stainless
This knife has fallen under the radar for me for a long time. Only until recently when the Hold Out series became available did I start seeking out a Skean Dhu type knife. The Brave Heart is similar in dimensions perhaps to a traditional style Scottish blade but is made from Japanese materials in Japan.
Check out Brave Heart next to some other boot knives and slicers.
Super thin Knife @ the rubber
@ the end of the jimping
1" from the tip 1MM spine side
Counter Tac II vs Brave Heart:
Nicer clip on the Brave Heart because it does not require 4 screws and posts. The one thing I dislike on all the sheaths is the "flare" you can see here where the plastic is so far from being fit to the handle.
Now get the Counter Point I add to the mix.
Of slicing: The Brave Heart is a fantastic slicer when used correctly from the point. This is due to a very thin ground Japanese stainless blade. I love the finish on the Japanese knives. Here is is pictured next to some other popular slicers. No Kudu pictured but it should not be counted out here.
Pendleton Lite vs Brave Heart vs K5 Kitchen knife

I may attempt a sheath for this one soon.
