At 20% thicker than the regular #60, the #60A resists breaking should you get a bit carried away with the twisting and pulling thing. Think of it as the #60 blade's big brother. Same crazy sharp long-lasting edge, and no more sharpening. It is designed for skinning and caping game.Fits the #60A fits the Piranta-Torch and the New Piranta-Bolt knives as well as the Piranta-Grizzly and Piranta-Wolf.
