Chris Reeve Shadow IV

Chris Reeve Shadow IV Knife | A2 Steel, One-Piece Construction. This is a legendary piece within the realm of high-end tactical and survival cutlery. Part of the iconic—and now discontinued—"One Piece" range from Chris Reeve Knives (CRK), this model is distinguished by its radical engineering: the blade, guard, and handle are all machined from a single, solid bar of A2 tool steel. With no joints, welds, or structural weak points, it features a truly integral construction.

Important: This is a collector's item—exactly the same one you see in the photos—in like-new condition. It comes from a private collection. It does not include a box or certificate.

The Chris Reeve Shadow IV is a robust yet elegant knife, embodying the philosophy of precision, functionality, and attention to detail for which the prestigious American firm Chris Reeve Knives is known. The "One Piece" series revolutionized the design of modern survival knives—from its inception in South Africa to its production in Boise, Idaho. As a discontinued model, the Shadow IV is not only a field tool of absolute reliability but also a highly sought-after collector’s item in the international knife-collecting market.

Key Features of the Chris Reeve Shadow IV

Integral "One-Piece" Construction: CNC-machined from a solid block of A2 steel, ensuring structural integrity that is virtually indestructible, even when subjected to prying forces or severe impacts.

Watertight Hollow Handle: The cylindrical handle features deep knurling, providing a non-slip grip—even when wearing gloves or with wet hands. It includes a threaded end cap made of aircraft-grade aluminum, fitted with a rubber O-ring that creates an airtight, watertight seal. This space is ideal for storing a basic survival kit (such as fishing hooks, a compass, matches, or water-purification tablets).

Kal-Guard Protective Coating: A highly durable, matte-black finish designed to protect the A2 carbon steel from corrosion and eliminate glare during tactical use. Integrated double guard: Upper and lower guards milled directly into the steel block, preventing the hand from slipping toward the cutting edge during demanding tasks.

Genuine CRK leather sheath: Includes a high-quality black leather sheath featuring the embossed Chris Reeve logo, reinforced rivets, and a snap-closure belt loop for secure carry.
