Design & Materials
The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, widely regarded as one of the most advanced modern knife steels. It offers an exceptional combination of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both everyday and outdoor use.
The brightwashed blade finish reduces glare and helps mask wear over time, maintaining a clean appearance even after extended use.
The handle features patterned tan canvas Micarta, providing a secure, non-slip grip that improves in character and texture with age and use.
