Hardcore outdoorsmen, hunters and ranchers seem to favor drop-point blades. While they offer a pointed tip, they also provide a curving deep belly preferred for skinning and other demanding outdoor chores. Designed for field performance, Spyderco's ProGrip blade is ground thick along its spine from the heel to tip, tapering slightly at the tip's end where it meets the cutting edge. The blade's breadth focuses on strength as does its VG-10 stainless steel that is hollow-ground and comes in a CombinationEdge (plain edge and teeth in the same package).
Keeping the knife lightweight the blade comes paired with a black FRN handle that frames an inlayed strip of slip-stopping rubbery Kraton. An additional thumbprint pad of Kraton under the pocket clip holds the knife in the pocket. Molded as part of the handle, the clip carries tip-up.
