Druid 270 is a large fixed production of the American company Steel Will. The knife was created as a larger, but still universal tool for all outdoor activities. Combining classic, bushcraft design with the use of modern high-quality materials, the manufacturer has obtained an excellent forest knife.
The Druid 270 model is made of 9Cr18MoV steel. It is a very good quality material characterized by a very low susceptibility to corrosion (9Cr18MoV is classified as stainless steel) combined with high abrasion resistance and good cutting aggression. A durable thermoplastic polymer is used for the handle. In combination with an interesting surface texture, it translates into a very secure grip, even in difficult conditions (e.g. when cutting with sweaty hands or wearing gloves).
The shape of the knife resembles classic filleting tools, or those designed for the "forest kitchen". The classic Drop Point blade used in most of the brand's models gave way to an interesting form of the Trailing point type, with the tip slightly above the handle line. This shape translates into great penetration of the tip, thanks to which precise cuts can be made with great ease. In combination with the relatively narrow blade, a "light line" effect is also achieved. Nevertheless, Druid 270 provides a huge reserve of power, and the four-millimeter blade will easily handle such activities as, for example, baring. The spine of the blade has a prominent edge, so you can easily use the knife to strike the fire with a flint. The knife does not have any kind of notches, thanks to which the blade has no potential weak points and guarantees high durability.
The handle, apart from convenient texturing, is shaped for maximum ergonomics. The widening of both its ends provide a secure support for the hand, and the hole for the rope allows for the use of additional belaying. The knife is sold complete with a scabbard made of durable black leather. The belt loop is attached to the D-ring, which ensures mobility. Thanks to this, the knife does not interfere, for example, when kneeling, sitting or doing some camp work.
Druid 270, produced by the American company Steel Will, is a large tool that will certainly prove useful in forest activities. This model was conceived as a typical bushcraft construction or a forest kitchen knife and it will perform well in these tasks.
