Unlike standard serrations on the sharp edge, these are designed for heavy-duty sawing tasks, such as cutting through thick rope, wood notches, or tough webbing, without dulling your primary blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the grey handle made of metal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, the handle is crafted from injection-molded nylon fiber. This material is lightweight, extremely durable, and resistant to temperature changes, making it comfortable to hold in both freezing cold and blistering heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the M-A3005GY open automatically?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, it is spring-assisted. You must manually apply pressure to the finger flipper to start the blade's movement. Once you initiate the opening, an internal spring takes over to fully deploy and lock the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"USMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52444401369319,"sku":"M-A3005GY","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/1578\/files\/m-a3005gy_1_98b5c139-279c-49f4-b56b-4af3915b1098.webp?v=1785804145","url":"https:\/\/frontierblades.com\/products\/usmc-m-a3005gy-spring-assisted-grey-tanto-knife","provider":"Frontier Blades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
