- Okapi is a pocket knife and hand-tools manufacturing company
based on the north-east Coast of South Africa. The okapi knife is
a working knife designed to be highly robust, practical and
equally affordable all the while remaining faithful to its rich
112-year-old heritage. Whether an okapi knife is needed for
everyday tasks or to clean wild game, the 1055 high carbon steel
blades are up to the challenge from one end the continent to the
other. The stabilized cherry handle, stainless steel stirrup and
back-strap, and sloping shape give the okapi knives their
distinctive look, recognizable by collectors around the world.
The okapi biltong knife embodies that blend between knife and
useful field tool. The 2 1/2" sheep foot blade performs numerous
tasks known for this blade shape with straight clean cuts that
you couldn't with a pointed blade. The simple slip joint design
and tight back spring produce a most pleasing and crisp pop when
snapped closed. Though atypical in blade and overall shape, the
biltong earns its place in the okapi knife family as a unique and
functional field knife. With a closed length of 4" the biltong
will be a must have knife in your pack or your pocket whether
your wilderness is rural or Urban. Overall: 6 3/4" blade length:
