This centuries old blade style is very popular in Central and East Africa as well as parts of South America. This is because of its nearly inexhaustible, “all-around” versatility. It cuts, chops, and slashes like the best of them, plus, it possesses a sharp enough point to make it useful for piercing and performing more delicate utility jobs usually left to a smaller knife. It is available in 12 and 18-inch blade lengths and comes complete with a Cordura sheath.
