What are the blade length and steel specifications of the Nieto 817 Camper?

The Nieto 817 Camper features a 90 mm (9 cm) blade crafted from proprietary AN-58 Spanish stainless steel. It is laser cut and heat-treated to an operational hardness of 58-60 HRC, providing dependable edge retention and corrosion resistance for outdoor use.

Can I use the Nieto 817 folding knife for heavy bushcraft tasks like batonning wood?

No, the Nieto 817 is a mechanical folding knife with a 9 cm blade and pivot mechanism, meaning it is not designed for heavy chopping or batonning thick hardwood logs. For those heavy-duty tasks, a fixed full-tang blade from our range, such as the Nieto N-184G Combat, is much more suitable.

Are there any specific Australian legal requirements for carrying the Nieto 817 in public?

As a manual folding knife, it is legal for retail and ownership across Australia, but state and territory weapons acts require you to have a lawful excuse—such as active hunting, camping, or outdoor recreation—if you carry it in public places.

How does the AN-58 stainless steel blade perform in humid or wet outback conditions?

The AN-58 Spanish stainless steel used in the Nieto 817 offers strong resistance to rust and oxidation, making it highly reliable for field dressing and camp food preparation in damp or humid Australian bush environments.
