The designer Leo Espinoza, created a new look for this specific blade. At TOPS, they call it "Black River Wash" The uncoated finish clearly shows the heat treat line along the blade edge. The darkened-steel pattern is unique on every blade. This creates that broken in, rustic look and feels just like an old pair of comfortable boots. The darkened Micarta scales are screwed onto the handle and a large cord holder is accentuated at the back of the handle. The handles are designed and built for a positive grip and for extended periods of use. A simple and usable design is reinforced by a sturdy 3/16" thick blade and full tang handle. This is a knife that performs with excellence in the field and looks and feels like an old trusted friend, anywhere that you go SPECS: --Overall Length: 9.00" --Blade Length: 4.19" --Blade Thickness: 0.190" --Blade Shape: Hunters Point --Blade Steel: 1095 RC 56-58 --Blade Finish: Black River Wash --Handle Material: Black Canvas Micarta with Red Spacers --Knife Weight: 7.1 oz --Weight w/ Sheath: 9.8 oz --Sheath Weight: 2.7 oz --Sheath Material: Brown Leather Pouch with belt loop. * Please Note That The "Black River Wash" Process Will Create A Unique Look To Each Knife.
