OVERVIEW

Tough and  Simple, your CANADA Enduring - CE980 PROVOST is made to endure anything. Handmade in Canada, your CE980 PROVOST is designed for the minimalist enthusiast who believes less is better. No dirt or debris to interfere with the knife's operation. Like the other knives of the Fredette Thumb Lock Series, the CE980 PROVOST is the perfect tool to prepare your elk after a successful hunt.

The quality of the material and the simplicity of the design are what makes your CANADA Enduring knife solid and reliable.

Your CE knife is the result of countless crafting hours on our family ranch located on the Cowboy Trail between the beautiful villages of Pincher Creek and Waterton, Alberta Canada. It can take up to 2 weeks from start to finish for a single knife to be crafted. If you would like to purchase one of these exclusive knives in person, you can find them at the Tamarack Outdoors outlet in Waterton.

All components of your knife (from the blade, handle, pins, rivets to the pocket clip) are individually made, shaped, and/or adjusted to fit your unique CE knife.

For durability, the blade is hand-crafted from the best knife grade stainless steel.

All CANADA Enduring knife handles are made of hard Chokecherry or Saskatoon wood (Depending on resource availability). Both woods carefully harvested, by hand in the wild, at the foot of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

The first part of the model name, CE980, comes from the blade length 98.0mm / 4". The second part of the model name, PROVOST, is in honour of Étienne Provost 1785-1850 the greatest of the America southwest Mountain Men. Unsurpassed and revered by his peers, french Canadian fur trader/trapper Étienne Provost will have his star tarnished to the profit of other Mountain Men in a time where United States his eager to create patriotic heroes and legends of his own.

Creating your CANADA Enduring knife, we were inspired by true heroes of our Canadian history. Professional voyagers, translators, trappers, hunters, Coureur de bois, fur traders... All Indigenous, Metis, Canadiens, and settlers’ extraordinary beings. True legends of this unforgivably hard, but incredibly beautiful land. Therefore, the traditional look of your knife. It feels like you traded furs for it, at Fort Kaministiquia, in the 1700. A lasting contemporary message... from another time.

Many years from now, when the time comes, we are hoping you will pass down this amazing knife to your descendants... because this is just how tough we made it.

We warranty every CANADA Enduring knife, for the life of the knife - See our Lifetime Enduring Warranty.

*Please take note that the wood grain and colour of your knife handle will be different from the above pictures since all CANADA Enduring knives are made from individual tree collected in the wild.

**Our Canadian knives are famous around the world and they leave our ranch almost as soon as they are crafted. If a knife shows SOLD OUT contact us and we will arrange for your knife to be crafted on our next availability.
