The Blade: Satin finished S30V come in a fully flat ground, drop point profile that offers a high level of utility and control for a variety of tasks but especially lends itself to hunting and skinning tasks. Jimping on the spine enhances control in powerful cuts and plenty of belly at the tip delivers control for finer cutting tasks.

The Handle: Contoured Olive and Blade layered Micarta handle scales are comfortable and secure in the hand without being overly aggressive in texture. Oversized, stainless steel chain ring bolts securely attach the scales to the handle and offer a variety of lanyard attachment options for added security in use.

CPM S30V: A martensitic, powdered stainless steel with high levels of wear and corrosion resistance. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides. This gives it a very refined grain, further improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
