The blade has a long, flat edge with a curved tip, perfect for breaking down anything and everything. Rounded G-10 scales offer a comfortable, secure grip. An extended tang on the pommel serves as a striking element and sports a lanyard hole opening. Item includes a leather blade cover. Features Thick 1095 carbon steel blade provides a tough, flat ground edge for all your chopping and cleaving needs.
