LKW Monkey XL by Radosław Łęgowik Fixed Blade Knife - Brown Micarta

Robust knife featuring a Full Tang design and fitted with brown Micarta handle scales. Outfitted with a broad blade crafted from O2 Bohler K720 tool steel, making it ideal for any bushcraft application. The design and craftsmanship come from Polish knifemaker Radosław Łęgowik.

Polish design

Radosław Łęgowik stands out as a Polish bladesmith and the creator behind the LKW - Libra Knife Works brand. Since 2007, he has been meticulously designing and handcrafting knives following his unique patterns—each model is produced in his workshop, allowing for complete oversight across all stages, from hardening to heat treatment. His collection features both tactical knives with a contemporary design as well as rugged, fully functional survival knives.

O2 Bohler K720 tool steel

Engineered from high-carbon Bohler K720 O2 tool steel and hardened to 59 HRC, the knife combines rugged durability with reliable cutting performance. The synergy of high-quality steel and meticulous heat-treating guarantees exceptional strength, crack resistance, and excellent edge retention. Moreover, sharpening the blade remains straightforward, even in demanding outdoor environments—an essential quality for bushcraft and survival knives.

Drop-Point profile, semi-flat grind

Equipped with a Drop-Point profile, the blade offers excellent tip strength, straightforward sharpening, and superior cutting performance. Measuring 105 mm in length and 3.3 mm in thickness, the blade ensures reliability in demanding conditions. The lower section of the handle features a prominent finger groove, while a knurled thumb rest on the upper section enhances grip and prevents accidental hand movement onto the blade. Featuring a semi-flat grind, the edge delivers impressive cutting capabilities.

Micarta scales

Manufactured from robust Micarta, a highly durable and waterproof material composed of epoxy resin, the handle scales deliver outstanding performance. A non-slip texture along with strategically placed finger grooves ensure a secure and stable grip in any environment. A lanyard hole at the rear of the handle adds further practicality.

rigid Kydex sheath, belt loop

Included in the set is a robust sheath crafted from lightweight, damage-resistant Kydex material. Multiple holes and eyelets on both sides of the sheath provide versatile attachment options for various gear. A belt loop on the rear side enables secure belt carry.

O2 feature
O2
O2 is a medium carbon tool steel (approximately 0.9%) characterized by good hardness, abrasion resistance, and strength. Its carbon content ensures high hardness in the range of 58-60 HRC after appropriate heat treatment, which allows for a durable cutting edge. This steel also contains small amounts of manganese (0.3%) and silicon (0.2%), which improves its hardenability and structural stability. O2 is relatively easy to machine, making it a popular choice for the manufacture of cutting tools, industrial knives, files, and cutting tools. It is susceptible to corrosion and therefore requires proper maintenance and protection against rust. Due to its abrasive properties and hardness, O2 steel is mainly used in work tools that require wear resistance.
G10 feature
G10
G10 is a lightweight and extremely durable material, considered one of the best for knife production. It is created by pressure-pressing fiberglass with phenolic resin, which gives it high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is chemically inert, does not conduct electricity, and retains its properties at both low and high temperatures. In terms of parameters, it is similar to carbon fiber, but its production is much cheaper. G10 handles are manufactured by precision cutting and cutting, which increases the cost of processing but ensures a perfect fit and long knife life.
Kydex feature
Kydex
Kydex is a thermoplastic, durable material commonly used in the production of knife sheaths. It is resistant to impact, scratches, and changing weather conditions, and has very low moisture absorption. The sheaths are molded directly onto the knife, which guarantees a perfect fit, high durability, and complete safety—the blade remains securely in place even during dynamic movements. Due to its durability and customization options, Kydex has gained popularity in the tactical and survival industries. Sheaths are often equipped with additional mounting holes with metal eyelets, which increase their durability and allow for easy attachment of buckles, clips, or loops to a belt or harness.
