Handle: Slabs of hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum joined by a solid back spacer form the rock solid compact handle. Jimping and milled grooves provide plenty of traction with a deep index choil for control and security. Backed by a slide safety the button lock delivers reliable lockup for safe use and smooth operation. The pommel end is tapered for impact use while the spacer, filler tab, and clip are finished to match the blade. Carries via a reversible stainless steel pocket clip.
