Smith & Sons Apex Stonewashed D2 Natural Micarta Multi Purpose Fixed Blade SM034101

The Apex from Smith & Sons is at the top of the fixed blade food chain. Designed to be a multipurpose power house, the Apex functions as a field craft, hunting, self-defense and EDC cutting tool. The pistol grip handle design is intuitive and secure in the hand and allows for powerful leverage, while the compact harpoon blade offers a solid durability and performance. If you need a "go anywhere, do anything" fixed blade, the Apex is an excellent choice. This version comes with a stonewashed D2 blade and natural canvas Micarta handle scales. Brand new directly from Smith & Sons, USA. Blade: A robust, full tang D2 tool Steel construction gives the Apex durability without sacrificing cutting performance thanks to a full height flat grind and harpoon swedge. A heavy stonewashed finish looks great and hides wear from use, while the scoop of the spine behind the harpoon tip makes for a great place to naturally index the thumb for added power during heavy work. Handle: Natural canvas Micarta scales are contoured for a comfortable grip with plenty of traction even when wet. The negative angle puts the point of the blade inline with the wrist for a more ergonomic design and allows for greater clearance of the fingers, enabling the Apex to be used for food prep. The Apex has a comfortable and hand filling handle design that is still compact and easy to carry. An installed paracord lanyard extends the handle and gives a solid anchor for drawing the knife for use. Sheath: Includes a horizontal carry brown leather belt sheath with snap closure. D2 Tool Steel: Used as a die cutting steel since WW II, D2 offers a good combination of hardness and wear resistance with moderate toughness and stain resistance. High chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) gives D2 better corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels.
