Linder Wanger Shard Nitro-X7 Carbon Fiber Black Kydex Sheath with 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 use, 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 Nitro-X7 high-performance steel manufactured in Germany. Its particularly fine and uniform internal structure allows for a very thin blade geometry. Behind the cutting edge, the blade measures less than 0.3 mm, giving the Shard an exceptionally high cutting ability and ensuring it is delivered razor-sharp from the factory.

A specially tuned vacuum heat treatment with cryogenic nitrogen treatment reduces retained austenite, thereby supporting long edge retention 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 sharpening stones.

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 construction combines the blade and handle into a consistently stable design. 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 pleasantly handy. At the same time, the combination of a full tang, high-strength Nitro-X7 steel, and carefully tuned heat treatment ensures a robust construction. This makes the knife suitable for everyday EDC tasks as well as for outdoor and hunting use.
