Confident, balanced grip: The 5.5" alloy handle fills the hand for leverage without hot spots—great bare-handed or with light gloves.

Performance You’ll Notice
Slicing efficiency: 440C’s fine grain takes a keen edge that sails through corrugate, shrink wrap, rope, and plastic strapping.
Tip strength & control: The drop point’s centered point excels at scoring, notching, and light pierce tasks with reduced risk of tip chipping.
Everyday durability: Stainless steel plus protective finish resists sweat, humidity, and incidental moisture.
Balanced weight: The alloy handle counterbalances the blade for less fatigue during repetitive cuts.
Ideal Uses
Everyday carry (EDC): Break down boxes, open packages, trim cordage.
Outdoor & camp: Food packaging, tinder prep, light utility around camp.
Workshop & jobsite: Zip ties, carpet backing, drywall scoring (use proper cutting mats and PPE).
Emergency kit: Reliable backup blade for glove box, tool roll, or go-bag.
Care & Maintenance
Clean & dry: Wipe the blade after use; add a light coat of oil if storing long-term.
Sharpening: Maintain with ceramic or diamond stones; keep a consistent angle along the belly and toward the tip.
Fastener check: Periodically snug handle/clip hardware (use thread locker sparingly if needed).
Use responsibly: Avoid prying, chiseling, or screwdriver tasks to preserve edge and tip.
