Lishen Dakota AEB-L - Spalted Beech - Black Pins

AEB-L Fixed Blade with Spalted Beech Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a compact fixed blade designed for outdoor tasks and bushcraft. AEB-L steel offers a balance of edge retention and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for knives that see regular use in the field.

Blade Steel: AEB-L is a Swedish stainless steel with 0.55% carbon and 14% chromium. It has a fine grain structure that takes a polished edge well and is known for its corrosion resistance. While not as hard as some premium steels, it is easy to sharpen and holds an edge well for its class.

Handle: Spalted beech wood with black pins. Spalted wood is naturally figured with dark, contrasting lines created by fungal growth. The wood is stable and durable once properly sealed. The handle is 4.875" long and the overall knife weighs 6.5oz, making it lightweight for its size.

Sheath: Includes a leather sheath for safe carry. The sheath is designed to protect the blade and keep it secure during transport.

Made in the USA.
