Materials & Construction
420 HC Stainless Steel Blade
This stainless steel offers dependable corrosion resistance and durability for freshwater use. It balances edge retention with toughness for consistent everyday performance.
Partially Serrated Blade Edge
The smooth edge handles clean slicing, while reverse-scallop serrations grip and cut through rope and tough fibers quickly. This combination improves versatility across different tasks.
Blunt Tip Safety Design
The blunt tip reduces the risk of puncture injuries and improves control when working in tight spaces or around gear and people.
Textured G10 Handle
G10 is a strong, lightweight composite that performs well in wet conditions. The textured surface and ergonomic shape improve grip, control, and handling.
Liner-Lock Mechanism
The liner-lock system secures the blade in place during use and when closed. It allows smooth one-handed operation with dependable stability.
Oversized Thumb Hole
The large thumb opening allows easy deployment with a thumb or middle finger. It improves access in cold, wet conditions and when wearing gloves.
4-Way Pocket Clip Installation
The pocket clip can be repositioned for different carry styles using a #6 Torx key. Proper installation helps maintain secure carry and prevents hardware damage.
