Stylish and formidably functional, it's everything you'd expect a tool designed by renowned Japanese knife designer Kiku Matsuda to be. This knife features a four inch 3V steel blade with a modified tanto design and a beautiful satin finish. Overall, from its blade tip to the butt of the elegant Micarta handle, it measures nine inches, providing an in-hand feel that's perfectly balanced. Featuring the SOG XR lock, which can withstand 1,500 pounds of force, users can trust in the ultimate security when the blade is deployed, and enjoy a folding knife with the lock up of a fixed blade.
