The warm tone of the wooden handle complements its assured profile on hunting ground, resulting in a knife you can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep penetration:\u003c\/strong\u003e a symmetrical blade finished in a dagger point, with a carefully executed grind aimed at direct, straight penetration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtected hand:\u003c\/strong\u003e a sturdy \u003cstrong\u003esatin-finished 420 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e guard raises a frontal barrier that stops the fingers from sliding towards the edge under pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasured weight distribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e the \u003cstrong\u003e4.8 mm thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e spread across its \u003cstrong\u003e28 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e provides just the right mass for a sure strike without punishing the wrist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e the wood offers a grained surface that conforms to the palm and keeps its grip even in damp conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteel and edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body of the blade is forged in \u003cstrong\u003emolybdenum vanadium\u003c\/strong\u003e steel, heat-treated to a hardness of \u003cstrong\u003e54\/56 HRc\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is an alloy highly valued in big-game hunting for its toughness: it withstands unexpected impacts against bone without a tendency to chip. The satin finish reduces sun glare and also makes it easier to touch up the double edge with an ordinary honing steel at the end of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs befits a tool conceived for the finishing blow, its build is \u003cstrong\u003efull tang\u003c\/strong\u003e: the steel tang runs the entire length of the handle and joins blade and grip into a single solid block that absorbs direct stress. Bear in mind that the slim profile of a dagger is intended for thrusting and incision, not for forced lateral prying; respecting that use preserves its integrity season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandle and ergonomics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scales are made of \u003cstrong\u003esatin-finished natural olive wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, a timber with unique figuring that brings warmth and notable ergonomics.
