Brand new directly from Smith & Sons.

Blade: The slim AEB-L stainless steel blade comes with a smooth, tumbled finish that hides wear from use and a sub-3″ length for ease of carry and transport. The utilitarian drop point profile has a nearly full grind that offers exceptional cutting performance and solid durability.

Handle: Comfortably contoured matte blasted Richlite handles are attached to the full tang blade with black oxide stainless steel hardware providing a durable, low maintenance platform for use. The blasted texture milling delivers plenty of traction for use in all conditions while the index groove provides added safety. An attached lanyard gives added real estate and easy draw. Lanyard color may vary.

Sheath: Carries via a stitched leather belt sheath.

Bohler AEB-L: Similar to Sandvik 13C26, AEB-L (a.k.a. stainless 52100) is a stainless razor blade steel. AEB-L takes a very fine edge, is easy to sharpen and has a high toughness and edge stability with good corrosion resistance. Offers better edge holding than carbon steels and capable of thin high performance geometry.

Richlite Paper Composite: Richlite is a durable, versatile, and sustainable material made from resin-infused paper considered a premium surface material in aerospace, architecture, and design. Layers of high quality custom craft paper create a unique surface texture from the natural variation in the paper fibers. Richlite’s color comes from a combination of the paper and amber toned resin and has a composition of approximately 65% FSC-certified or recycled paper content and 35% phenolic resin.
