Known for its strength, moisture resistance, and durability, G10 is an ideal handle material for outdoor knives. The textured surface helps maintain control during use, while the clean black finish gives the knife a professional, tactical appearance. A built-in lanyard hole adds versatility, allowing users to attach a lanyard for additional retention or personalized carry options.
For secure storage and convenient transport, the Maratac R4A comes equipped with a black Kydex belt sheath.
