Trout Yellow Micarta handle scales provide a secure, comfortable grip while adding a bold touch of color to the knife's classic design.

The tapered tang construction showcases the skill and attention to detail behind every Samuel Riner creation. By gradually reducing the tang thickness toward the end of the handle, this traditional technique reduces weight, improves balance, and enhances the knife's feel in hand without sacrificing strength.
