Whether you’re in the field, on the job, or deep in the backcountry, it’s the kind of tool you’ll want by your side when reliability matters most.
At the heart of this knife is a 4.62-inch reverse tanto blade made from high-performance 1095 Cro-Van steel. Known for its incredible toughness, ease of sharpening, and solid edge retention, this steel has long been a go-to choice for professionals and serious knife users. The reverse tanto blade shape offers an aggressive tip that’s perfect for piercing tasks, while the long, straight cutting edge makes it a slicer through and through. With .18-inch blade thickness and sturdy thumb jimping along the spine, you’ll feel the control and strength in every cut.
Full tang construction adds rock-solid integrity to the design, giving you a confident feel in hand whether you're batoning, feather-sticking, or doing detailed cutting. At 9.37 inches overall and weighing 7.2 ounces, this knife offers a balanced mix of heft and maneuverability—heavy-duty enough to get things done, but nimble enough for detailed work when it counts.
The smoke-colored polycarbonate handle adds a sleek, modern look to the knife without compromising durability or grip. It’s shaped to fit your hand with comfort and control, giving you the confidence to use it for extended periods without fatigue. The handle resists impacts, moisture, and harsh conditions, making it ideal for any adventure or task you throw its way. A lanyard hole at the rear lets you attach cord, beads, or retention loops for added utility.
