The Hide Out was designed as a small, inexpensive and super-functional neck knife. The resulting blade is a true featherweight, weighing a meager 1.9 oz. Its high satin polished, double-edged Japanese AUS 8A blade is "Scandi" ground, which makes it very sharp and also very stiff, allowing for a strong and durable tip, despite its sharpness. Its full tang is encapsulated in a weather proof Kray-Ex handle that has been designed to be very thin and flat. The handle is subtly contoured and deeply checkered to give the hand great purchase and security on such a small, thin knife, while still enabling effortless transition between grips. Includes Secure-Ex sheath and bead chain lanyard.
