- The Raw Canvas Micarta handle from Italy offers a secure ergonomic grip and exceptional balance especially when the handle/knife is wet.
- Features a 60/40 blade grind for increased weight at the edge and a ballistic clip point for enhanced tip strength.
- The blade is heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 62. The three-step, 16° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
