This exceptionall knife features a midlock mechanism, AG Russel’s much admired general purpose blade shape and a comfortable FRN handle that provides a secure grip even in wet conditions. A.G. Russell Knives has been on the forefront of knife design and innovation for decades and is synonymous with quality. Blade steel is 8Cr13Mov, not a premium super steel but more than adequate for this sort of light duty knife. My descriptions are accurate. Check my feedback and Buy with confidence.
