NedFoss BOAR Survival Knife — 4.1" D2 Drop-Point, Micarta Handle, Kydex Sheath & Fire Starter

This compact fixed-blade is engineered for practical field tasks—from campsite prep to hunting and emergency utility. The BOAR balances a robust 0.18" spine and flat grind for effective slicing and batoning, while the PVD finish and D2 alloy increase edge retention and corrosion resistance. It ships with a molded kydex holster engineered for multiple carry positions and an integrated ferrocerium rod so you can start a fire even in damp conditions.

How does the BOAR handle everyday outdoor chores?

The BOAR’s drop-point blade and full-flat grind make controlled cuts and general-purpose work straightforward. Its 0.18" thick spine resists flex and stands up to batoning and heavier chores without sacrificing control for finer work.

• 4.1" D2 steel blade with PVD coating for wear resistance
• Full-flat grind for smooth slicing and predictable bite
• 0.18" spine suitable for controlled batoning and leverage

Can I rely on this knife in wet or rough conditions?

The materials and finish are chosen to perform in variable climates. D2 steel paired with a PVD surface treatment slows corrosion and preserves the edge; the micarta handle sheds moisture and keeps a secure grip even when wet or muddy.

• D2 tool steel for strong edge-holding and toughness
• PVD coating adds protective surface resilience
• Brown micarta scales for comfortable, non-slip grip

What carrying options and accessories does it include?

The BOAR comes with a molded kydex sheath that supports vertical or horizontal belt carry and offers fast access. A ferro rod included with the kit makes ignition possible in adverse weather without relying on matches or lighters.

• Kydex sheath designed for secure retention and multiple carry positions
• Integrated fire starter (ferrocerium rod) for emergency ignition
• Lightweight 6.91 oz overall for comfortable extended carry

How easy is it to maintain and sharpen?

Routine upkeep keeps D2 steel performing well: strop and stone for edge shaping and occasional light oiling to protect the finish. The blade geometry is user-friendly for home sharpening and field touch-ups.

• Simple sharpening with whetstones, ceramic rods, or guided sharpeners
• Wipe and oil after wet exposure to preserve PVD and D2 properties
• Blade geometry supports consistent edge reconditioning

Who this knife is for: The NedFoss BOAR fits hunters, campers, anglers and anyone who wants a rugged, compact survival fixed blade. It’s sized for backpacking and day trips yet stout enough for food prep, shelter work and emergency utility; choose it if you want a dependable full-tang tool with practical carrying options and fire-start capability.
