The ClipPoint 4.5 comes amazingly sharp out of the box with a high flat ground blade that melts into a full flat grind from the high point of the blade out to the tip and includes a secondary beveled edge for strength and long life.  Jimping has been included along the spine in front of the Ricasso for sure handling when the going gets tough.  And since it’s made with quality stainless steel, you won’t need to worry about the edge or blade corroding at the end of the day. Black burlap / jute micarta scales attached to the full-tang provides a hand-shaped foundation that gets even grippier when wet and develop a patina with use.  The non-removable scales are permanently mounted to the ClipPoint 4.5 with three stainless steel screws for durability and includes a buterola that’s ready to accept your lanyard for the occasions that call for added safety measures.  Additionally, the 90-degree spine is perfect for getting a fire started with the included ferro rod.  The premium hand-made leather sheath provides vertical belt carry and includes a loop to keep your ferro rod close at hand.
