Bone and wood combination handles were the working standard on professional folding tools of that era — bone for smooth grip on the lower scale, dense wood on the upper for impact resistance.

The hawkbill profile curves sharply downward from spine to tip — designed for pull cutting through vines, cord, rope, and branch material where a straight blade loses control. The curved tip draws cleanly through material on a single downward stroke without slipping off the cut line. Damascus steel holds a sharp working edge through sustained daily carry and field cutting use. The brass thumb stud allows fast one-hand deployment from a closed position.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handle pairs dark rosewood on the upper scale and cream bone on the lower scale. A wide flared bone bolster sits at the top of the handle, adding a distinct profile and protecting fingers during heavy pull cutting tasks. Rosewood is dense and moisture-resistant through daily outdoor carry. Bone provides a smooth, firm grip surface that does not slip in wet field conditions. A mosaic cross pin sits on the handle face, a decorative cross and compass pattern pressed into the handle for a bold visual detail. The liner lock engages automatically on blade opening and holds the blade rigid until manually released.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Used
