Blade: A beefy, 3.5 mm thick, black stonewashed D2 blade has a curving belly along the edge with a high saber grind that offers a balance of durability and slicing performance. A harpoon swedge clip point delivers a robust point for optimized for piercing performance. It opens smoothly with an integral flipper tab riding on durable phosphor bronze washers.

The open back construction reduces weight and makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze. A scoop on the back of the handle transitions into the jimping on the blade and mirrors a scoop on the blade, both offering a secure position for the traditional Filipino grip. A single stainless liner reduces weight and forms the simple, reliable liner lock mechanism. This tactical version is finished off with black hardware and black aluminum standoffs for a pop of color.

D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. D2 has a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) which gives it greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels making it semi-stainless. D2 offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance for a good all around knife steel.
