The clip-point blade features a black coating and jimping on the spine, while the dual thumb studs cater to both right- and left-handed users. The highly textured handle offers excellent grip, and it’s equipped with HK’s proprietary AXIS lock, a spring-loaded mechanism positioned at the top-back corner of the handle. For easy cleaning and maintenance, the stainless steel frame is constructed with two small spacers, leaving the interior exposed. The handle also comes with a reversible tip-up pocket clip.
