The Western 9" BlackRiver Titanium Bonded Fixed Blade Knife features a robust, 3.75" drop point Titanium Bonded blade making the 420 steel 3x harder than an untreated stainless steel blade. The blade also features a Full Tang construction which provides enhanced strength to the cutting blade and also supports a stronger and more rigid handle. The handle has an ergonomic non-slip grip as well, providing the user with comfort and control over their knife in harsh conditions. Also included is a Ballistic Nylon sheath that will further protect your blade from debris and other foreign materials when not in use. Backed by Lifetime Warranty as well, the BlackRiver is a strong choice for avid outdoorsmen and collectors alike.
