The handle is where this knife truly stands apart. Crafted from stabilized Fiddleback Maple and Maple Burl, it offers rich, natural character with swirling wood grain patterns that make each knife truly unique. Stabilization enhances the wood’s durability and resistance to moisture, warping, and cracking. Brass pins and black liners add structural strength and contrast, while a lanyard hole gives users flexible carry options. The handle is shaped for comfort, with smooth contours that fit naturally in the hand, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.
Measuring 9.5" overall, this knife hits the sweet spot between maneuverability and power. It’s compact enough for controlled tasks yet substantial enough for heavy-duty use.
