The
The APOCALYPSE Vanadis 4 Extra takes our proven survival platform and elevates it with Swedish powder metallurgy. Vanadis 4 Extra maintains its edge through batoning hardwood, processing game, and the thousand small cuts that dull lesser blades. This carbide structure is so refined that sharpening is measured in seasons, not sessions. Handcrafted from a 6.6mm slab with a 172mm blade, natural Canvas Micarta scales. At 300mm total with Kydex sheath, this is the knife you pass down. Not because it's collectible, but because it refuses to quit. Will develop a protective patina over time.
Series Heritage
The Apocalypse knife draws its name from ancient Greek 'apokalypsis'—revelation. This is a revelation of what a field knife should be.
"I used Vanadis 4 Extra for Arctic testing. The edge retention in abrasive conditions is simply unmatched. This is the steel for serious wilderness work."
