Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the serrations on the top spine of the blade used for?
A: The partial serrations located on the upper spine provide a dedicated sawing edge. This is excellent for cutting through tough, fibrous materials like heavy nylon straps, rope, or branches without dulling the primary cutting edge of the tanto blade.
Q: Does this knife include a glass breaker tool?
A: Yes. The butt-end of the handle features an integrated, hardened steel glass breaker point, designed to shatter vehicle windows easily during emergency rescue situations.
Q: How do you unlock and close the blade safely?
A: The knife utilizes a secure liner lock. To close it, look at the underside of the handle while the blade is open, find the spring-loaded metal bar locking the blade in place, push it firmly to the side (toward the handle scale), and carefully fold the blade back down.
