The blade’s geometry promotes efficient rocking and chopping motions, making prep work faster and more enjoyable.

The handle combines durable Coyote Tan G-10 with carbon fiber and Ultem materials, offering a robust yet lightweight grip that stays secure even in wet or slippery conditions. The textured G-10 scales provide excellent traction and comfort, while carbon fiber adds strength and Ultem contributes heat resistance and stability. Together, these materials create a handle that’s not only functional but also visually striking, perfectly complementing the stonewashed blade.
Weighing just 4.22 ounces and measuring 8.82 inches overall, the knife offers an ideal balance of size and maneuverability.
