The 3.2 mm thick stainless steel blade and three-layer polymer handle construction set it apart from the standard Companion. Available in Black and Burnt Orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Take a Beating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Companion Heavy Duty carries a blade that is 3.2 mm thick, noticeably stouter than most camp knives in this class. That extra thickness means the blade resists lateral flex and tip stress when you are splitting kindling by batoning or levering a stuck object. A thicker blade is not just a spec on paper; it is the difference between a knife that comes back from a hard trip and one that does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Edge That Stays Sharp Longer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel blade is ground to a 27-degree edge angle, a geometry that balances sharpness with edge resilience. Stainless steel holds an edge through wet conditions and resists corrosion without the frequent oiling that carbon steel demands. That is a practical advantage when a knife lives in a pack or a truck for weeks between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandle Designed for Grip Under Pressure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-layer thick polymer molding on the handle is not cosmetic. Multiple layers allow the grip to absorb shock and maintain structural integrity when the knife is struck or twisted. The robust handle geometry keeps the knife secure in a gloved or wet hand during demanding work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-thick blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2 mm stainless steel resists flex and tip stress under hard use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e27-degree edge angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e tuned for edge resilience across a range of camp and field tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-layer polymer handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e absorbs shock and maintains grip integrity under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e corrosion-resistant and lower maintenance than carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo color options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black (SKU M-13158) and Burnt Orange (SKU M-13259)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.1 in (104 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.125 in (3.2 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8.8 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.8 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEdge Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e27 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThree-layer polymer molding\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Burnt Orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Companion Heavy Duty suits overlanders, campers, and outdoor workers who put a fixed blade knife through genuinely hard use: batoning firewood, heavy camp prep, and field tasks where blade flex or tip breakage is a real concern. The stainless steel construction makes it a low-maintenance choice for wet or coastal environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis knife is not a folding knife and does not include a fire starter or multi-tool. Buyers who prefer carbon steel for easier field sharpening should consider a Morakniv Companion (C) variant instead, as the stainless steel blade in this model requires different sharpening technique and tools than carbon steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat makes this knife different from the standard Morakniv Companion?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Companion Heavy Duty uses a 3.2 mm thick stainless steel blade (thicker than the standard Companion) and a three-layer polymer handle construction. That combination is designed specifically for tasks that put lateral stress or impact on the blade, such as batoning or prying, where a thinner blade would be at greater risk of flexing or breaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the blade stainless or carbon steel, and does it matter for maintenance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Companion Heavy Duty (S) blade is stainless steel. Stainless steel resists corrosion and requires less routine care than carbon steel, with no oiling needed after wet use. The trade-off is that stainless steel typically requires more effort to sharpen in the field than carbon steel, so a quality sharpener suited to stainless is worth having on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the 27-degree edge angle, and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Companion Heavy Duty is ground to a 27-degree edge angle per side. A wider angle like this prioritizes edge durability over razor thinness, making the edge less likely to roll or chip under hard use. For camp tasks and field work, that resilience is generally more useful than the acute angle found on kitchen or fillet knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the knife come with a sheath?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eSheath inclusion is not confirmed in the available product data for the Companion Heavy Duty.
