Sobata 398 Titanium Knife
$225.00
Description

  Titanium blade and handle for a classic knife that is practically weightless

  This simple, yet classy design serves as the ultimate everyday carry knife. The combination of the satin-finished sintered titanium blade and the blasted titanium handle creates a classic-looking knife that feels practically weightless in the hand. The single-position titanium clip allows the knife to be conveniently attached to a belt loop or pocket for easy access. The modified sheepsfoot blade, along with the superb edge retention of the sintered titanium, has an excellent balance of form and function. The Sobata 398 is the perfect knife to take on long backpacking expeditions, to include in a tackle box for weekend fishing trips, or even just to be a centerpiece to an amazing collection.

Footprint sold separately.
