Everybody loves Bacon so that�? why we named this assisted opening knife ñFatbackî. We know you will love it just as much as that tasty pork treat! And it�?s not fat either, it actually has a rather slim glass-filled nylon, textured handle to ensure that you always have an extra secure grip. The handsome 3 1/2î 8Cr13MoV steel blade is a modified drop-point with a dagger-like shape. Kershaw�?s precision heat treatment provides long-lasting edge retention, as well as strength and hardness. The black-oxide coating offers an additional measure of blade protection and non-reflectivity. The Fatback opens with Kershaw�?s SpeedSafe assisted opening for smooth, one-handed opening and the pivot is oversized and decorative. The handle is drilled to support the four-position pocket-clip„so you can carry tip-up/down, left/right. The deep-carry pocket-clip lets the knife ride securely and comfortably low in the pocket.
