This handle is designed to fill the hand comfortably, enhancing grip and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. The inlaid panel of non-sliding Kraton further improves the knife's handling, ensuring a secure grip even in wet or slippery conditions. A lanyard hole is included for added convenience, allowing the knife to be securely attached to gear or worn around the neck.
