The Cold Steel Hold Out Plain Edge Knife's beautiful satin polished blades are extremely broad; they are flat ground from the spine, with a shallow 'V' cross-section culminating in a razor-sharp hand-honed edge. Continuously curved from the heel to the needle-sharp tip, the blade cuts, and shears through tough and fibrous material with ease and makes short work of tasks that would challenge many of the folding knives on the market today. The ambidextrous pocket clip allows for deep carry.
