Using an acid-wash process with a touch of copper in camo wave, the finish reveals striking copper edges that catch the light and come alive in the sun. The resulting pattern gets progressively darker toward the ricasso, with a matching camo for the handle scales. This is an entirely unique piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an incredibly useful camping and gardening tool. It comes with a kydex sheath, belt loop with D-ring dangler assembly, shoulder sling strap, custom M51 patch, cleaning cloth, paracord, paracord tail with our bronze bead and a sticker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vanguard weighs just 600g and overall length of 511mm. The weight savings are gained through having a distal tapered blade - from 5mm at the handle to a slicey 2.8mm at the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has a faceted spine, positioned to not compromise batoning, but to limit deep-chop-pinching and reduce overall blade weight.

To keep the steel free from signs of oxidation or corrosion; please ensure it is cleaned, oiled and ensure it is put away dry. Using \"wet wipes\" or other chemical cleaning products may discolour the blade. This blade ships with a \u003cem\u003eRenaissance Wax\u003c\/em\u003e finish applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acid wash finish has been set with heated mineral oil. Some wear may occur during normal use of the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe suggest using the cleaning cloth provided to remove clearance debris and dirt, a generous application of 3-IN-ONE oil (manufactured by WD40) onto the blade and carefully wiped down after use will keep the steel in optimal condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-kinetic use of any outdoor blade will result in the cutting edge dulling. SK5 is an easy to sharpen steel by simply using a whetstone. Learning how to do this effectively is an incredibly useful skill for the future maintenance of all your bladed articles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways store the blade in it's provided kydex sheath, away from children and in a safe, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**If you are struggling with \u003cem\u003eAge Verification\u003c\/em\u003e - please email a copy of your Passport or Driving License to us at info@britishmacheteco.com to process the order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMC Bladeworks","offers":[{"title":"Stonewash \u0026 Acid wash \/ Yes","offer_id":59144832483659,"sku":null,"price":259.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stonewash \u0026 Acid wash \/ No","offer_id":59148181406027,"sku":null,"price":259.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/0061\/2939\/files\/M51Volca2_8e01917b-f941-4e16-a1b1-ab43eccc47fb.jpg?v=1793915091","url":"https:\/\/britishmacheteco.com\/products\/m51-vanguard-golok-volca-special","provider":"BMC BLADEWORKS Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
