For those who want a stainless steel blade, this spearpoint sports Nitro V steel at RC61, with a full flat grind and razor sharp convex edge. The spearpoint design is ideal for drilling wood, and the cutting edge goes all the way to the heel of the blade, so you have every bit of leverage on tough cuts. The handle is tough Arizona Desert Ironwood, some of the best handle wood on the continent, and it is secured with stainless steel Birdseye bolts and has a stainless lanyard tube at the butt. Clean and hard working, this is a knife you can trust in the field, made from premium stainless steel with a double cryogenic heat treatment.
