A lovely stonewashed finish gives this item blade a rugged and appealing look. Constructed out of 3Cr13 steel with a full tang. You will be surprised at how strong and long this grade of steel holds its edge. it is easy to re-sharpen.  For the money, it punches a lot harder than it should do so. An essential bit of kit for the outdoors. Just 5.75″ that can be worn or thrown into your backpack, on that long hike.
