The first choil, where the blade and handle meet, allow positioning the index finger closer to the knife’s sharpened edge for control over the cutting surface.

Bi-Directional Texturing molded into the FRN handle form varying levels of steps minimizing forward or backward sliding. 4-way (tip up, tip down, left OR right) pocket clip for ambidextrous carry.
