This construction is the ultimate guarantee of resistance in a big game hunting knife. The 4.8 mm spine provides the necessary rigidity for heavy-duty tasks, although it is important to remember that, to preserve its technical cutting geometry, it should not be used as an extreme prying tool on materials harder than bone or wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandle and control in real conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003esatin-finished natural olive wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, an emblematic wood that stands out for its beauty and pleasant feel.
