I designed this knife to be the ultimate camp knife. It is a bit over 1/4” thick 5160 spring steel. It is differentially heat treated to have a harder edge and slightly softer spine. I put a compound grind on this one. It is flat ground for the 3/4 of the blade from the handle. Then the last quarter towards the tip is a convex ground. The handle material is an acrylic that is made locally. It is the same material that bowling balls are made of. This does come with a leather sheath. I guarantee all my work for life (that’d be my lifetime that is). If you have any issues just contact me and I will make it right.
