The Brawler starts with a modified tanto blade a shape often found in tactical and rescue knives that may be required to punch through tough materials. The top of the Brawlers blade has a grind- a swedge, it helps narrow the blade, adding to its piercing power; the straight belly offers excellent cutting capacity, perfect for bearing down on a task and is easy to resharpen. The 8Cr13MoV blade steel offers edge-holding capability, strength and hardness; black-oxide coating adds blade protection. Lightweight, strong glass-filled nylon handle; angled handle curves into the palm of your hand. Fast, easy opening with SpeedSafe assisted opening and flipper.
