The layered pattern flows the full length of the blade and shifts with the light. No two blades look alike. The steel is hardened to 59 to 60 HRC. That rating puts it in the serious working-knife range: hard enough to hold a sharp edge through repeated cutting tasks, and stiff enough to resharpen with a whetstone without chipping. The 3.5-inch length is legal for everyday carry in most US states and the right size for field and utility tasks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Handle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe scales are black honeycomb epoxy resin.
