VOSD0302 Vosteed Fullback Drop Point Nitro-V Steel Blade Green Micarta Handle Fixed Blade

Rugged yet refined materials & design
The Raccoon features a 3.25″ Sandvik® 14C28N drop‑point blade that strikes an excellent balance—hard enough at around 60 HRC to hold a sharp edge during outdoor use, yet still polishable and easy to maintain youtube.com+7nothingbutknives.com+7reddit.com+7. The blade thickness (~3.0 mm) and flat grind deliver smooth, reliable slicing. Complemented by a 4.36″ Micarta handle with chamfered edges, this knife offers serious bite and grip—and it ages gracefully, handling wear and patina beautifully zeroair.org+1nothingbutknives.com+1.

Smooth, ambidextrous action with secure locking
