Strategically positioned jimping further complements the handle geometry and provides additional traction during use.

The centrally positioned locking system contributes to the knife’s ambidextrous design and provides straightforward operation.

The clip can be configured for left- or right-side carry in either tip-up or tip-down orientation, making the knife completely ambidextrous.
