Smith Extraction and Evasion Cleaver Features The Smith Extraction and Evasion Cleaver is built around a cleaver-style blade made from 8Cr stainless steel a steel chosen for its good hardness and high corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The blade s black oxide finish reinforces that corrosion resistance while giving the knife a low-reflection tactical appearance suited to hard use. A plain edge along the 3-1/2 blade favors clean controlled cuts across a range of everyday and field tasks. The liner lock mechanism keeps the blade securely locked open during use while remaining simple to release when it is time to fold the knife away. A finger flipper tab allows fast one-handed deployment classifying the Extraction and Evasion as an assisted opening knife ready for quick access when it counts. The handle is built from rubber-coated aluminum with a partial honeycomb texture pattern combining a lightweight frame with a grip that stays secure even in wet or gloved conditions. Finished entirely in black the knife carries an 8-1/2 overall length and a 5.8 ounce weight that keeps it easy to carry without adding bulk. Designed after the fan-favorite machete cleaver shape this knife is a robust everyday carry tool built for shooters and outdoorsmen who need a dependable blade on hand.
