On some occasions a filigree, slender knife is just the right thing for fine cutting work. This is not one of those occasions. The massive sheep foot blade of the Ripsnort made from 8Cr13MoV is based on a butcher's cleaver and has a slightly curved edge line, predestined for slicing. The blade opens with one hand with a flipper. The black POM plastic scales are extremely tough and the stainless steel insert gives the design a refined appearance. The blade locks with a liner lock and the clip (tip-down) and lanyard hole make it even more functional.
