The spine curves down to the tip rather than being clipped away, so the point stays strong while the belly gives you a long sweeping edge for skinning or slicing. If you are only taking one fixed blade out, this is the profile to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e1095 Is a Choice, Not a Compromise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1095 is a simple high carbon steel and that is the whole appeal. It takes a keener edge than most stainless will, and it comes back on a stone in a couple of minutes rather than a session. What it asks in return is that you keep it dry and wiped with a little oil, because it will rust if you neglect it and it will take on a patina whether you like it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a hunting profile that tradeoff makes more sense than on anything else. A carbon blade dressed out in the field and wiped down at the truck is how these knives were used for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGreen Micarta\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicarta is layered fabric set in resin, and it grips harder as your hands get wet, which is exactly when you do not want a knife moving. Green micarta darkens where you hold it, so it will look different in a few seasons than it does today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCarry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one ships on a Kydex sheath with a DCC clip rather than the Ulticlip the Bosses use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA New Maker for Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravis Mayes works out of Klamath Falls, Oregon, and this is the first batch of his work we have carried.
