If necessary, check the set with the seller before purchase. Frequently Asked Questions How long is the EKA CordBlade W9 blade? The blade length is 93 mm and the thickness is 3.6 mm. The total length of the knife is 211 mm. What steel is the blade made of? The blade is made of Alleima 12C27 stainless steel with a hardness of 57–59 HRC. This is a practical knife steel that is relatively easy to maintain and re-sharpen outdoors. What does full-tang construction mean? With full-tang construction, the blade steel continues through the entire handle. This solution reduces the number of moving joints and is well suited for a fixed blade work knife. Is the paracord handle comfortable? The paracord wrap keeps the handle light and provides a textured contact surface for the hand. It is thinner and stiffer than a molded rubber handle, so comfort depends on the size of the user's hand and the duration of the work. Is the knife suitable for heavier outdoor tasks? The 3.6 mm blade and full-tang construction allow for more demanding cutting tasks than a typical pocket knife. However, the knife should not be used as an axe, chisel, pry bar, awl, or screwdriver. Is the EKA CordBlade W9 stainless? Alleima 12C27 is stainless steel, but still requires maintenance. After contact with moisture, blood, saltwater, or acidic foods, the blade should be cleaned and thoroughly dried. Is the sheath included in the set? Yes. The set includes a molded Kydex sheath that protects the blade and allows the knife to be safely carried with your gear. Is this knife suitable for processing game? The CordBlade W9 is suitable as a universal cutting knife for hunting and for smaller processing tasks. For prolonged processing of larger game, a knife with a thicker handle or a hunting knife with a dedicated gutting blade may be more comfortable. When is the EKA CordBlade W9 Orange the right choice? The CordBlade W9 is a good choice if you are looking for the lightest possible fixed blade knife but do not want to compromise on simplicity and strength of construction. Its 95-gram weight is ideal for hiking gear, and the orange handle makes it easy to spot among forest undergrowth, at camp, or among other equipment. For longer or more strength-intensive tasks, the EKA Nordic W12 with a molded handle may be more comfortable. For everyday pocket carry, the folding Swede 8 or Swede 10 is more compact. For initial game processing, consider the SwedBlade, which features separate skinning and gutting blades specifically designed for this purpose. Expert recommendation The main strength of the CordBlade W9 is its simple and lightweight construction. The full-tang blade and paracord wrap keep the knife weight low, while the 3.6 mm blade provides enough rigidity for typical hiking and hunting tasks. The thin handle is well suited for short and precise cuts, but for prolonged forceful work, it may not be as comfortable as knives with ergonomic handle covers. Check from time to time that the paracord wrap is tight, clean, and completely dry. If the cord has become wet or dirty, let it dry before storing the knife. Do not place a wet or blood-contaminated blade in the Kydex sheath, as moisture and dirt accumulated inside the sheath can cause stains and reduce hygiene. Maintain an approximately 20-degree sharpening angle on each side and remove material moderately when sharpening. Lightweight full-tang knife for hiking and hunting The EKA CordBlade W9 Orange combines a 93 mm stainless steel blade, lightweight full-tang construction, and a highly visible paracord handle. Together with a durable Kydex sheath, it is a practical choice for users who want a simple and easily portable fixed blade knife.
