About the design:

“The initial concept was to attempt to design a hunter’s knife that produced a tool of minimum dimensions which was still efficient in use. At first it was for the large proportion of British deerstalkers who hunt for the smaller species such as roe andmuntjac. However, it was picked up by others such as the Swedish hunterJeppe Stridh as an ideal cutting tool for his country’s moose hunters in combination with a forest axe. Further research has shown that it is an adequate and popular compact belt accessory for those on safari, hence the name. ........ “ / Alan Wood
