Designed by Barry Dawson, this is a knife pared down to its bare essentials. The thick, narrow, 4.5" blade is distal tapered and flat ground to keen edge. The unsharpened back edge leads to a fine point for excellent penetration ability. The handle is cord wrapped, with the edges melted to be more comfortable in the hand. It comes with a secure-ex sheath and steel beaded cord to facilitate neck carry, or to teather to gear.
