Why D2 Steel?

D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that sits between carbon steel and stainless in terms of corrosion resistance — but surpasses both in wear resistance and edge retention. It is the steel of choice for hunters and outdoorsmen who need a blade that stays sharp through extended field use without constant resharpening.

Black Micarta Handle

Micarta is a composite material made from layers of linen, canvas, or paper impregnated with resin under high pressure. Black Micarta is the tactical knife world's preferred handle material — it is impervious to moisture, provides an exceptional grip even when wet, and becomes more grippy with use as the surface develops texture. It is virtually indestructible under normal use conditions.
