Steel Will Knives Expands into the Camping Community

March 10, 2016

New York, NY- Steel Will Knives grows the popular Gekko series with the Gekko 1513 & Gekko 1533, expanding into the camping community. These fixed blade knives are some of Steel Will’s most versatile knives available for fishermen, hunters, and avid campers.

Size really does matters when it comes to different tasks that backpackers are challenged with while on the trail. The larger Gekko 1533 (10.12”), is great for various chores such as campfire duties, battening, food preparation and shelter construction, while the Gekko 1513 (9.33”) also supports the same tasks but as a smaller option. Both Gekko knives come with a highly visible orange G10 handle that not only comments the satin finish blade, but is practical for identifying and locating the tool. The 0.16” thickness of the N690Co blade can handle some of the most difficult tasks and can be easily sharpened back to a razor sharp finish. Steel Will also incorporated a protruding tang with an eyelet, for users to attach a lanyard. The Gekko 1513 & 1533 are both constructed in Italy, offering the best craftsmanship and materials available for a lifetime of use and enjoyment.

The Gekko 1513 & 1533 both include a high-quality leather sheath that securely fastens the knife while in travel and allows quick and easy access when needed. The leather material is also comfortable to wear, dries quickly when exposed to the elements and is easy to maintain. Steel Will Knives realized ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain, and developed the Gekko 1513 (6.8 oz.) and Gekko 1533 (7.37 oz.) to be as lightweight as possible without effecting their structural integrity. To learn more about the Gekko 1513 & 1533, please visit www.steelwillknives.com or call 877-969-0909.
