The highland warriors of
Scotland's distant past carried a small yet lethal knife with a
distinctively carved wooden handle. It was called the Skean Dhu (which
means "Black Knife" in Gaelic, the ancient language of the British
Isles). Typically, a kilt clan warrior carried it on his person or
wedged in his stocking top.
Cold Steel's latest version of this romantic and historically
significant knife is called The Brave Heart. Designed by Lynn C.
Thompson, it is a small, compact, multi-purpose knife, that will serve
admirably as a hunting or utility knife or as an alternative to a double
edge boot knife. The thin, needle sharp tip is ideally suited for
piercing, and the precision taper ground blade has been honed by hand to
razor sharpness. The traditional jimping on the blade spine is both
ornamental and functional, providing an aggressive non-slip platform for
the thumb or forefinger to bear downward as needed for maximum control.
The compact Kraton handle is designed to accommodate a wide variety of
comfortable and secure grip positions, and its slim, flat cross section
insures that it will resist turning or twisting in the hand. Kraton is a
superior handle material that Cold Steel has employed for decades
because its robust traction and resiliency allows it to withstand the
shock of even the hardest blows.
The Brave Heart comes with a lightweight yet sturdy Secure-Ex sheath
that's been specially designed for an inconspicuous presence. It comes
with a detachable boot/belt clip and lashing slots so you can wear or
carry it everywhere you go.
