SPD X Wilson S.A.F.E. System 1 Scout

Overview
The SPD Edition S.A.F.E. System 1 Scout features an American clip point blade grind and a nod to the classic Loveless chute knife, crisp edge blade spine for scraping ferro rods, hard anodized, dark OD Green handle, about 20' of OD Green micro-cord wrap, an exclusive 4-hole lashing style finger guard and paired with the exceptional Sagewood Gear leather sheath specially configured with a ferro rod loop and sharpening stone pocket. We recommend our optional PDW Ti-SFR as the perfect companion accessory to go along with this knife. This hollow handle survival knife hits a sweet spot for usability as a strong everyday carry fixed blade for serious field use.

First rate outdoors knife

This is one of the best outdoors knifes in my collection. Will work well on my hunting/fishing trips.

Incredible craftsmanship

I’ve been wanting a Wilson knife for a while and this collaboration with PDW was a good excuse for me to get one. The sheath is top quality the inclusion of the stone pocket and ferro rod loop is perfect. The knife itself is beautiful, probably the nicest quality knife I’ve ever owned (also the most expensive so it should be). The blade comes very sharp and the blasted finish is nice. The grind lines are even and the fit and finish is pretty flawless. The hollow handle is larger than I expected, you probably get about 3” deep of storage space and maybe 3/4” across. The compass does not seem cheap and points North accurately.

If you’re on the fence, this is the version of the SS1 to get as it has the best sheath IMO.

Fantastic Fixed Blade!

The SPD X Wilson Safe knife is a great fixed blade camp/survival knife. The knife itself is very well made and balanced. It almost feels as though it’s an extension of your hand, the ergonomics are that good. The leather sheath is beautiful and I expect will only get better with age/use. If you’re in the market for a well made purpose built fixed blade I recommend giving this knife serious consideration.
