What makes Aitor's reliability recognized by the military, and how does its manufacturing process guarantee its quality?

Aitor's reliability is based on its heritage and manufacturing process. After its integration into the Pielcu Group, processes were modernized, incorporating advanced thermal treatments for the steel. Additionally, stricter quality controls were applied in line with military standards. This ensures that the manufacturing guarantees the hardness, toughness, and reliability that military and other demanding users expect from an Aitor knife. Models like the Jungle King and Oso Negro/Blanco are examples of these combat-proven designs.

The durability of Aitor knives is backed by rigorous quality tests. Each blade is tested with Rockwell hardness measurements (55-58 HRC), edge resistance, elasticity, and torsion. The steel, alloyed with carbon and molybdenum, undergoes anti-corrosion treatments that ensure optimal performance in hostile environments, such as saline, jungle, or desert settings.

Aitor uses stainless steel alloyed with carbon and molybdenum, a material designed to balance hardness and flexibility. This steel undergoes a heat treatment of tempering and annealing that guarantees outstanding edge retention. This ensures that the knife maintains its cutting capacity and resistance in scenarios of intensive use.

The Jungle King and Oso Negro/Blanco are legendary because they are "combat-proven designs". The Jungle King is the quintessential survival knife, with a kit integrated into its handle, which highlights its tactical versatility. Its technical handles, made of reinforced polymers or vulcanized rubber, offer a firm grip even in adverse conditions, whether in humid, cold climates or with tactical gloves. This combination of design, versatility, and extreme reliability is what distinguishes Aitor's most iconic models.

Aitor Knives: tactical tradition, professional performance and reliability in every cut

Explore a curated selection of Aitor knives designed for tactical use, survival, bushcraft, rescue and hunting. This category features iconic models and high-performance innovations made with heat-treated stainless steels, optimized blade geometries and ergonomic handles that guarantee control, safety and durability in demanding conditions.

What sets an Aitor knife apart

  • Robust construction: solid spines and blade profiles engineered for moderate prying, sustained cutting and fine tasks.
  • Consistent edges: grinds that balance edge retention and ease of sharpening, ideal for use in the field or urban settings.
  • Ergonomics and control: textured handles and functional guards for a secure grip wet or dry, even with gloves.
  • Ready-to-use sheaths: belt, MOLLE or pack compatible; with drainage, reliable retention and fast access.

Recommended uses and model choice

  • Tactical/service: drop point or spear blades, reinforced tips, anti-reflective finishes and discreet carry sheaths.
  • Survival and bushcraft: thicker blades with versatile grinds for light batoning, wood carving, fire starting and shelter building.
  • Rescue: glass breakers, strap cutters and partial serrations for quick intervention in emergencies.
  • Hunting and outdoor: blade profiles suitable for dressing, skinning and camp tasks, prioritizing control and cleanliness.

Materials and edge treatment

Aitor knives use high-performance stainless steels with heat treatments that maximize hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance. The balance between edge retention and sharpening ease allows maintenance with stones, rods or guided systems without complications.

Blade geometries and finishes

  • Drop point: versatile for controlled cuts, piercing and fine work.
  • Clip/Spear point: better penetration and handling in tight spaces.
  • Partial serrations: efficiency on fibers, straps and synthetic materials.
  • Protective coatings: reduce glare, friction and add corrosion resistance.

Handles and sheaths

  • Ergonomic handles with high-grip textures for control in wet or muddy conditions.
  • Secure design with ricasso and guards to protect the hand during strong thrusts.
  • Polymer or nylon sheaths with multiple attachment points, drainage and secure retention for comfortable and silent carry.

Quick selection guide

  1. Define the main use (tactical, bushcraft, rescue, hunting) and the environment (humidity, salt, dust).
  2. Choose length and thickness depending on the type of cut: fine work (compact blades) or mixed tasks with reinforced spines.
  3. Select the edge: plain for precision and easy maintenance; combo if you need to cut belts, ropes or webbing frequently.
  4. Evaluate the carry system for your gear: orientation, belt/MOLLE compatibility and quick draw.

Maintenance and care

  • Clean and dry after each use; apply a light oil coating in humid or salty environments.
  • Sharpen with progressive grits, maintaining the original bevel angle to avoid overheating the edge.
  • Check screws, pins and sheath periodically; replace worn parts to ensure safety.

I had the pleasure of purchasing the 150th Anniversary Edition Cometa 400 Fenix ​​​​at the lowest price I could find online from these kind people. I also indicated that I am passionate about wood and that it would be great if they could send me a nicely figured example. These come with Spanish Walnut stocks. I'm not sure what was done in the background, but I can certainly say my hopes were met on this point!! Excellent communication and overall customer service as I had a few inquiries that were promptly answered. Shipping to France was FAST, easy, and inexpensive. I don't normally write these reviews, but this exceptional service motivated me to do so. I highly recommend this store!
