Accomplish outdoor tasks with a single free hand due to Tellus ATK's assisted opening frame lock mechanism. The open frame lock design has been engineered to mitigate the effects of dirt, mud and other debris that can foul more complicated systems and the blade locks on to the sturdy metal frame and simulates the strength of a rugged fixed blade knife. The deep belly black oxide coated CRYO 440C stainless steel blade provides plenty of backbone to this outdoor workhorse while offering a sharp and durable edge. The GRN handle is durable and textured to provide a sure and safe grip in the wet or dry, with gloves and without.
