Brass liners add strength, while ringed nickel silver bolsters and nickel silver spacers reinforce the handle’s structure and durability. An inlaid red, white, and blue color-filled nickel silver “America 250th” shield completes the patriotic aesthetic, ensuring this Deer Slayer stands out as a centerpiece of any collection.
At 5.5 inches closed, the knife offers a comfortable, full-hand grip while remaining pocket-friendly, making it easy to carry or display.
