The blade displays a distinct Damascus pattern and is matched with ergonomic Micarta handle scales for secure handling during cutting tasks.

How to use

Use the knife with a rocking cutting motion for tasks requiring precision and smooth, continuous cuts. Keep the tip and heel engaged when slicing and use the full length of the blade where appropriate to reduce force and improve control.

Recommendations

Maintain the edge by honing regularly and re-sharpening when needed with suitable whetstones or professional sharpening services. Hand wash and dry immediately after use to preserve the blade and handle; avoid dishwashers and abrasive cleaners.
