📝 Product Description
Up for sale is an exceptionally rare and highly collectible Vintage Aitor Survival 21 Knife, featuring a premium Genuine Stag Horn / Antler Handle.

The Survival 21 is famous for its Full-Tang construction—providing incredible structural strength compared to later hollow-handle survival models.
