Blade: The up harpoon tip and generous belly of this profile make it an ideal choice for hunters, outdoor adventurers and anyone looking for a robust and functional cutting tool. The blade has a subtle full hollow grind with a plain edge for powerful slicing performance and spine jimping for traction. The W2 tool steel blade tapers to a fine point for piercing and detail work. A Japanese inspired Hamon provides visual appeal for users and collectors alike.

Handle: Stainless pins solidly secure the comfortably contoured, polished double black linen Micarta handles to the full tang. The subtle guard and bird's head pommel help lock the knife in hand while still providing the versatility of multiple grip positions. Offering a clean, handsome look with visual appeal for collectors, the handles are durable and well-designed for serious use and security in the grip.

No sheath

W2 Tool Steel: W2 is a water hardening non-stainless tool steel especially popular with custom makers as it allows for a striking hamon blade pattern from tempering. Maximum working hardness is 63-65 HRC for good edge holding and cutting performance with a thin edge.
