Ergonomic in design, the handle offers a solid three finger grip with a generous hole for lanyard attachment if added grip area is required, with a slightly larger grip on the Manbug for users with bigger hands.

VG10: Takefu VG10 is a Japanese high-carbon stainless steel that takes a fine edge and holds it well. Edge retention and toughness are on par with 440C, with better corrosion resistance. Popular with Japanese kitchen knife makers, it is often hardened to 60-61 HRC. A solid choice for small pocket knives thanks to good edge holding, stain resistance, and ease of sharpening. An acute, high polished edge delivers optimal slicing performance.
