That gives you a full four finger grip on a 4 inch handle behind only a 3 inch blade, which is the balance most people actually want on a belt knife. At 3.3 ounces you stop noticing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sheepsfoot Grind\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sheepsfoot has a straight edge and a spine that drops to meet it, so there is no upswept point to catch on what you are cutting. It is the shape for opening boxes, breaking down feed bags, and working close to your other hand. The tradeoff is that you give up the piercing point of a drop point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMagnaCut and Cerakote\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagnaCut is the steel to have on a working fixed blade. It takes a keen edge, holds it, and stays stainless enough that a wet day will not leave you scrubbing rust. Hellbender runs it at 62 to 64 HRC. The OD Cerakote on top cuts glare and adds another layer of protection to the flats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOD Blade, Black Handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen over black is the highest contrast build in this group. The blade reads as the colored part rather than the handle, which is the reverse of how most knives are put together. Black G10 underneath ignores weather completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade in Ohio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHellbender is a small shop in Hilliard, Ohio, building under RECMAN USA. They do the work in house short of laser cutting and heat treat, and back every knife with a lifetime warranty and free sharpening for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ranch Hand is new to us, and this is the first time we have carried the model.
