The blade is forged from Damascus steel in a wave pattern finish. The handle pairs a dark rosewood upper scale with a warm olive wood lower scale. A wide brass bolster sits at the blade end. Brass pins and a mosaic cross pin lock the scales to the liner. A brass thumb stud opens the blade. The liner lock holds the blade rigid during use.

Pairing two contrasting wood scales on a single handle was a signature technique of working knife makers who wanted both grip performance and visual distinction in one compact build.

The recurve profile curves inward at mid-blade, then sweeps forward to the tip — increasing slicing efficiency on forward cutting strokes and giving the tip controlled piercing geometry for detail field tasks. Damascus steel holds a sharp working edge through sustained daily carry and cutting use. The wide brass bolster adds front-end weight for better cutting balance and protects the handle joint during heavy use. The brass thumb stud allows fast one-hand deployment from a closed position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe handle pairs dark rosewood on the upper scale and warm olive wood on the lower scale. Rosewood is dense and moisture-resistant through daily outdoor carry. Olive wood is close-grained with natural oils that resist moisture without regular conditioning. The two wood tones give the handle a layered, contrasting appearance — no two handles look identical due to natural wood grain variation. A wide brass bolster at the blade end adds visual weight and front balance. Brass pins and a mosaic cross pin lock every scale firmly to the liner. The liner lock engages automatically on blade opening and holds the blade rigid until manually released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words
