Pros
- M390 steel drop-point blade with a partially serrated edge for versatile cutting tasks
- Diamond-Like Coating adds a refined finish to the blade
- Black G10 handle scale is designed to provide a secure grip
- Reimagined pocket clip uses flush-fitting screws for a streamlined carry profile
- Anodized aluminum backspacer and stainless-steel glass breaker add practical features
Considerations & Trade-offs
- The partially serrated edge is useful for mixed cutting tasks, but it is a less specialized choice if you prefer a plain edge for clean slicing or easy touch-ups.
- The DLC finish and blacked-out hardware give the knife a subdued look, but darker finishes can show wear patterns over time more visibly than uncoated surfaces.
- The pocket clip is reimagined for a streamlined carry profile, which may be a plus for pocket use, but it also means the carry setup is fixed to the knife’s built-in design.
- The stainless-steel glass breaker adds emergency utility, but it is a feature you may not need for routine hunting or field carry.
