Made from tough rigid 1055 carbon steel with a strong spring temper, it's virtually unbreakable and offers the weight forward balance necessary to chop through vines, saplings, and brush and even trees with ease. What's more, its sharp point offers plenty of belly for slashing or even skinning, and in an emergency, adds to it value as an improvised self defense tool. Sold fully sharpened, and shipped with a sturdy nylon sheath, it's ready for your jungle wherever it may be.

The new "Bellator" is the first SYSTEMA knife, that ES and Andreas Weitzel -one of the leading SYSTEMA trainers- have jointly developed. Andreas Weitzel has contributed with his practical expertise in the field of Russian ´combat and self-defence´. The knife is made of proven Böhler N695 stainless steel and comes with anti-slip G-10 grips. The shape of the handle has been influenced by the Cossack sabre, also knows as the `Schaschka`. The basic principle of the `Schaschka`is that it facilitates `grip, draw and strike` in a single, fluent movement. The large screws, the indentation in the middle part of the grip and the ergonomical finger geometry enable excellent handling and rapid change of hold. This makes the `Bellator` excellent for self-defence. This knife is also a superb choice for hunters, outdoor fans and survival specialists. For flexible carrying ES have chosen a Kydex sheath with belt adapter. Weight 220 g, blade 11,7 cm, overall 23,7 cm.
