Imagine holding The Viking Trail Walker in your hand—a special edition knife that transcends mere craftsmanship to become a powerful symbol of your personal journey and adventures yet to come. The distinctive viking bind runes motif displayed on this knife was developed by former Green Beret and CIA Contractor Craig Forster as a symbol of his love for world travel and adventure. As a renowned world traveler, Craig is celebrated for his adventurous spirit, one example is his recent journeys to Norway to reenactment of WWII Special Operations missions. This exceptional knife embodies a story of resilience, discovery, and the romantic allure of exploration.
Unique Design and Symbolism
The Viking Trail Walker features a bind rune, a captivating fusion of four ancient runes, each rich with meaning. Together, they form a unique emblem that resembles a man walking with a pack—an inspiring metaphor for the continuous journey we all undertake. This design is not just a tribute to Craig’s own path; it’s a call to action for those ready to embrace their own adventures.

Perfect folder
For those in a rush: Holds an edge, strong, LIGHTWEIGHT, smooth Meat and potatoes: Like you (if you're reading this), I'm a knife nerd of sorts. I've bought knives of various types, styles, and prices for many years. I searched for a perfect EDC (grotesquely overused acronym) for a few years. I even owned the obligatory Osborne from the bug brand every other yahoo has ran. It was light, but too thin and I have higher demands from a knife ( as well as other reasons, but we'll keep it professional here). This is my first frame lock knife. It's my first titanium knife. It's my first magnacut knife (outside the blade on a multitool). I had reservations about a frame lock. Don't. This knife locks up with tolerances a machinist would admire. There is ZERO play. The titanium is insanely lightweight. You won't notice it's in your pocket (even in those shorts that are for "house only" because they are too thin for public and you don't workout like you thought you would; won't budge those). The magnacut: I don't buy into hype. But you should. Being a knife nerd means you have a sharpening system that is probably overkill; but you justify those credit card statements by saying things like "It's my passion." Guilty here too. You can sharpen this to perfection, to your preferred angle, and you will not notice material loss. I have ran it through my "evil edge" (we aren't here to promote other brands) for 20+ hours now and it isn't noticeable without a micrometer. It's mirrored edge and "grab individual ridges of your fingerprint sharp." This knife checks all the boxes. This knife is so good I gave away all of my other folders; search is over, mission complete (I really did). I do use this knife, take it everywhere, and I'm confident it will hold up perfectly. I'm not a "sit on the couch guy" and this isn't a "sit on the shelf knife." No, you won't lose it. When she comments about the price; tell her it's "probably the last folder you'll buy because it's exactly what you've been looking for. (yeah, we all know that here)" If she still scoffs; go total up all her "wall hangings and live laugh love items" in the house and explain that your passion is a useful tool. You'll be able to flip it open and closed all night long on the couch to avoid that argument. All jokes aside; it really is the perfect folder whether you get after life outdoors or you want to collect it on a shelf. For me; it's perfect.
