The 2.95" drop point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel and heat treated to a hardness of 60–61 HRC, offering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Nitro-V is engineered to perform consistently under demanding conditions while remaining easy to maintain. The satin finish provides a professional, low-glare surface that enhances the blade’s aesthetic while helping to conceal wear from repeated use. The drop point geometry delivers a versatile cutting edge with a strong tip for controlled slicing, piercing, and general utility tasks. At 0.118" thick, the blade balances rigidity with smooth, precise cutting, making it effective for both everyday chores and more specialized applications.
The handle is constructed from brown Norplex UltreX™ Micarta, a composite material known for its durability, moisture resistance, and natural texture. Measuring 4.10", it offers a secure, full-handed grip and supports ergonomic hand placement for comfort and control during extended use. The clutch lock system ensures safe blade retention while allowing smooth one-handed operation, and a thumb stud enables quick and reliable deployment. The warm brown handle provides a tactile, secure grip and pairs visually with the satin Nitro-V blade for a classic, refined look, while the Micarta construction delivers dependable performance in a variety of conditions.
