CRKT Ultima 5" Tanto with Veff Serrations and Black Titanium Nitride Finish

Today's tactical fixed blade knives still resemble the first Bronze Age daggers of 4000 years ago, especially in their handle design. Michael Martinez, sculptor, inventor, and martial artist, didn't start out to redesign the fixed blade, but he explains, "In my edged weapons training, I kept noticing how many knives didn't feel right, didn't have a grip that gave both control and comfort in the four fundamental tactical grips." Michael's design firm, Group Design, Inc., reached out to a team of medical specialists for the answer. Their Ultima achieves 22 out of 23 ideal contact points with its unique patent-pending handle. 1.4116 stainless steel blade with Titanium nitride coating Veff serrations Injection molded black glass filled nylon handle scales with over 70 triangular grip segments, separated by sipes, or "ooze grooves" which channel away water, mud and oil.
