With a swift motion, you unsheath this compact powerhouse and carve kindling for your fire. Later, you fillet your catch with surgical precision, then clear a limb from the trail as if it were paper. Handcrafted in Olean, New York, each knife carries over a century of military-proven performance fused with modern steel technology, so you conquer every challenge with unwavering confidence.
At its core lies a 5.25″ clip-point blade forged from premium 1095 Cro-Van steel. You’ll appreciate how effortlessly it bites through rope, food, and wood, thanks to exceptional edge retention and battle-hardened toughness. The broad belly powers through heavier chores, while the razor-sharp tip thrills you with pinpoint control. A matte-black, corrosion-resistant finish stands guard against rust and unwanted shine, ensuring you move stealthily through damp forests or low-light conditions.
Feel the difference in your hand the moment you grip the patented oval leather-washer handle. Stacked leather washers conform to your palm, absorb impact, and maintain a solid hold—even when wet, cold, or gloved. At a mere 6.4 ounces, this mid-size blade offers a perfect balance of nimble maneuverability and reassuring heft, so you stay agile without sacrificing power. When duty calls, draw it from the tailor-made silent brown leather sheath in a heartbeat. Its secure belt-ready design and friction-fit retention keep your blade close at hand and ready for instant action.
