  • Grind: Features a full convex grind, which enhances durability for heavy tasks like batoning while maintaining a sharp edge.
  • Tip Style: Primarily available in a drop point shape.
 
Handle and Aesthetics
  • Handle Material: Crafted from Desert Ironwood, a dense hardwood from North America and Mexico known for its rich color and unique grain patterns.
  • Ergonomics: The handle is designed to be comfortable for various hand sizes and grips, often featuring a palm swell to reduce fatigue during hard use.
