Aggressive spine jimping runs along the top edge near the handle. That texture gives the thumb real grip during detailed cutting work.

Each ridge has to sit at a consistent depth along the spine. That texture adds function without weakening the steel underneath it.

The curved belly gives the blade good control for detail cutting work. Spine jimping improves thumb control during extended or repeated use. A smooth folding action lets the blade open and close without sticking. Wipe the blade dry after each use to protect the Damascus pattern. A light coat of oil helps prevent unwanted surface rust over time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handle is shaped from dark hardwood for a secure, comfortable grip.
