The Pocket Bushman?s sub-zero cryo-quenched 4116 Stainless Steel steel blade is incredibly durable, and capable of taking (and holding) a fantastically sharp edge. It?s long and wide with a sharp clip-point for maximum practicality and versatility in the field. For the handle, we used a mono-block construction made famous by the classic French ?Douk Douk?.
