It has a full Scandi grind for ease of sharpening. The spine of the blade is ground with sharp corners for use with a fire steel. The handle is has a molded checkered pattern and is very “grippy”. It’s comfortable with either an edge up, or edge down grip.
I WAS AMAZED. THIS IS A WELL MADE KNIFE THAT WILL LAST A LIFE TIME IN THE WOODS.
I LOVE MINE AND HAVE HAD IT ON MY SIDE EVERY DAY NOW. AND I HAVE SOME COLLECTION OF KNIFES AND COAST A LOT MORE THAN THIS ONE. JUST GET ONE AND YOUR NOT GOING TO BE SORRY ABOUT IT.
