Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a vegetable cleaver, it is thinner and lighter than a meat cleaver, so it is not intended for chopping through meat bones.
- The blade cover helps with safe storage and edge protection, but it adds an extra piece to keep track of when packing or using the knife.
- Genuine ebony handle scales and steel rivets give it a traditional presentation, but the materials and full-tang build may be less suited to users wanting a more utilitarian field knife.
- This is a limited Buck of the Month release with only 400 produced, so availability is inherently restricted.
