At 8.325" overall with a 4.125" blade, it's sized for serious field work without excess bulk, while AUS-8 offers genuine edge retention and corrosion resistance in a steel that's easy to maintain in the field. This circa 1990s Japanese-made piece combines proven metallurgy with a design pedigree rooted in functional blade geometry, making it a solid choice for hunters, outdoor users, and collectors who value honest steel and purposeful construction.
