Description

Heavier in the hand than the first at 4.1 ounces, and built with solid brass bolsters at the pivot and the butt. Blade length is 2 3/4 inches and closed length 3 7/8. The steel is tumbled in ceramic media to a stonewashed grey that swallows scratches instead of showing them, which suits a knife that opens boxes and cuts cord all week. The walnut is hand-rubbed through four grits and left a hair proud of the brass, so the wood wears first and the metal never sits sharp against a palm. Still a slip joint and still no lock. The brass browns while the walnut darkens, and over a year of carry the two move toward each other.
