The blade and the handle are made from one solid block of D2 tool steel, then milled out to make it light weight - and filled with a slab of micarta. Real masterful machining resulting in a weight of only 55 grams.
It unmistakably bears the signature that made its designer famous! A great blade shape, a slim handle and subtle curves make it a super nice tool.
