This pocket knife is assisted with a smooth deployment. The handle features a steel frame lock. As with any frame lock the lock bar is actually the handle. The accents on the stainless steel handle accentuate the black finish on the blade. The blade is made from stainless steel with a heat treated finish. Both a flicker and a thumb stud are provided so you can deploy the blade any way you choose. A Hunt For Life™ logo is featured near the thumb stud. This knife makes a great EDC knife especially with a steel belt clip.
