A Polished Stonewashed finish on the S30V blade gives the knife a high-class look that still hides ware from use. An index finger choil in front of the stainless guard allows for a more controlled grip for detail work with spine jimping for traction.

Handle: The upgraded Gator Skin over mold delivers optimal comfort and traction in the hand while the Glass-filled nylon core delivers lightweight durability and strength to this robust fixed blade. The stainless steel index guard and pommel gives the Gator Premium Fixed Blade perfect balance for long use as well as some added style. A generous hole at the pommel is provided for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a premium, American Made, black leather belt sheath.

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.
