Linder Wanger Shard Nitro-X7 G10 Black Kydex Sheath Multiclip

Linder Wanger Shard – compact outdoor knife with Nitro-X7 steel

The Linder Wanger Shard combines a compact design with an exceptionally high-performance blade. The design, developed by Roman Kasé, places particular emphasis on function and ergonomics, making the Shard a versatile knife for EDC, outdoor, hunting, and demanding cutting tasks. With an overall length of 17.6 cm and a weight of just 117.0 g, it offers a balanced combination of handiness and performance.

Nitro-X7 – exceptional sharpness and edge retention

The 77.05 mm long blade is made of German-manufactured Nitro-X7 high-performance steel. Its particularly fine and uniform internal structure allows for a very thin blade geometry. Behind the edge bevel, the blade measures less than 0.3 mm, giving the Shard an exceptionally high cutting ability, and it is delivered razor-sharp from the factory.

A specially tuned vacuum heat treatment with nitrogen cryogenic treatment reduces retained austenite, thereby supporting long edge life and minimal burr formation during sharpening. With a hardness of 62 to 63 HRC, the Nitro-X7 achieves high durability while remaining easy to resharpen with standard whetstones.

Fine geometry for versatile cutting tasks

The combination of a thin blade, high-quality steel, and a carefully executed, fully cooled grind ensures high cutting performance. This makes the Shard suitable not only for classic cutting tasks but also for intricate work and carving. At the same time, the full-tang construction provides the necessary stability for more demanding outdoor applications.

Ergonomic full-tang construction

The full-tang design combines the blade and handle into a consistently stable structure. The ergonomically developed handle sits securely in the hand and has been optimized over several years with regard to function and ergonomics.

Compact, lightweight, and versatile

With a blade thickness of 2.8 mm and a weight of only 117.0 g, the Shard remains comfortably manageable. At the same time, the combination of full tang, high-strength Nitro-X7 steel, and carefully tuned heat treatment ensures a robust construction. This makes the knife suitable for both everyday EDC tasks and outdoor and hunting missions.
