Iron Ethos KS 23 Tactical Fixed Blade Knife - 1095 High Carbon Steel Black Finish Blade - Ergonomic Black Handles & Custom Kydex Sheath (E11A52F-10)
Product Description
Engineered for high-stress tactical deployment, outdoor survival, and hard-use field operations, the Iron Ethos KS 23 Fixed Blade (E11A52F-10 / 634855225730) delivers uncompromising structural strength and purpose-built ergonomics. Built around a heavy-duty full-tang chassis, the KS 23 bridges the gap between low-profile defensive tools and rugged wilderness workhorses.
At the heart of the E11A52F-10 is a high-performance blade forged from classic American 1095 high carbon steel. Renowned across the military and survival knife communities for its exceptional impact toughness, razor-sharp edge keenness, and straightforward field maintenance, 1095 steel withstands intense batonning, prying, and heavy utility chores without chipping. The blade is coated in a durable black protective finish that guards against environmental oxidation and eliminates unwanted field glare.
The handle chassis features ergonomically contoured Black scales mounted over a solid full-tang steel frame. Deep finger choils and aggressive indexing points ensure a positive, slip-resistant purchase in wet, cold, or gloved hands. Accompanied by a custom-molded black Kydex sheath equipped with a versatile belt attachment, the Iron Ethos KS 23 is a zero-fail primary asset for law enforcement, military operators, and outdoor survivalists.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
Forged from traditional 1095 high carbon steel and shielded by a protective black coating, the KS 23 offers extreme impact resistance and high edge sharpness. As 1095 is a non-stainless carbon steel, the exposed cutting edge requires basic care; keep the blade clean, dry it after field use, and periodically apply a thin coat of synthetic or mineral oil to maintain rust defense. The weatherproof handles and Kydex sheath can be easily scrubbed clean with warm water and mild soap.
