The 3.5 mm thick modified tanto style blade is made from high quality D2 steel. Why does this matter, you ask? Trust me, it makes all the difference. D2 is a steel that is high in chromium and provides high wear resistance as well as exceptional toughness and hardness, and this D2 blade has been given a sand finish for even better scratch and wear resistance. You’ll be blown away at how effortlessly this knife cuts. The handle features a double wall construction with a steel frame and smooth G10 mounts that feature a blue snakeskin finish. Anodized blue hardware can be seen all throughout this piece, from the sturdy screws to the ball-bearing mechanism. A pocket clip is provided on the handle for convenience; however, you may want to tote this knife in the sleek black carrying case with belt loops and a free cleaning cloth that comes included.
