Blade Specifications and Performance
The blade is crafted from premium Böhler Elmax stainless steel, which is highly regarded by manufacturers for its balance of extreme edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

- Dimensions: Blade length is 2.5 inches with a thickness of approximately 0.12 inches.
- Finish: Typically features a satin finish.
- Geometry: A drop-point style with a fine, acute point and a well-executed swedge for detailed work.
Handle Design and Materials
The handle on this specific variant is made from Black Canvas Micarta with a matte finish.
- Matte Finish: Unlike standard polished Micarta, the matte finish is achieved by ending the polishing process with a coarser grit and omitting wax.This results in a slightly grayish appearance and a more textured, secure grip.
- Ergonomics: The handle includes a small index finger divot for security and contoured scales that accommodate a full four-finger grip for most medium-sized hands.
- Accents: It often includes stainless steel or nickel silver bolsters and a lanyard hole for additional carry options.
