The Coral Reef resin is the draw here. It is a poured resin in gray, red, and green that no two handles match exactly, set against steel bolsters. For a small traditional lockback it reads a lot more interesting than it has any right to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo and a half inches of stonewashed drop point on a nail nick, under three ounces, the kind of knife that lives in a pocket and opens mail for twenty years.
