The Link features a tanto style blade for superior piercing capabilities with a strong point. The 420HC stainless steel blade has higher amounts of carbon and chromium to boost hardening ability and corrosion resistance. It is an excellent everyday tough steel, corrosion resistant, easy to sharpen and takes a good edge. The blackwash finish gives the blade the well worn look of your favorite pair of jeans and offers additional blade protection. The handles are machined from lightweight aluminum and anodized dark grey. The sculpted lines of the handle provide for a comfortable and secure grip. It feels big and solid in the hand and offers a clean look. For easy opening, the Link is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening, accessed with the built in flipper. Made in the USA.
