This model of the Liong Mah Traveler has a G-10 handle with a micarta inlay and a satin finished spear point blade made from Bohler M390. The knife is perhaps the oldest and most essential tool a human can have. Tragically, many of the world's governments have placed serious restrictions on what knives people can carry. Liong Mah, a world renowned knifemaker, noticed the problem, and came to the rescue. The Liong Mah Traveler is designed to be legal in as many places as possible. It's got a non-locking detente slip joint mechanism and a non-threatening appearance, but it is precision built with premium materials. If you travel, or live in a restrictive place, but want a knife that will perform, the Traveler is for you.
