That central point gives more steel directly behind the tip than a clip point, so it is strong and pierces straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe swedge ground along the top of the blade near the tip thins the steel there, which sharpens the point geometry without weakening the spine further back.

Keeping them to the rear of the edge leaves the front two thirds as a plain edge for clean slicing and controlled cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing: serrations cannot be sharpened on a flat stone. They need a tapered rod worked through each scallop. The plain section sharpens normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe teeth along the spine suit scoring and notching rather than sawing. A true wood saw needs set teeth that cut wider than the blade, which is not practical on a knife spine, so spine teeth bind in wood after a few strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Micarta for the Handle?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicarta is layered canvas compressed in resin under heat and pressure. The fabric texture gives it grip, and unlike smooth synthetics it becomes tackier rather than slicker when wet, which suits a knife used outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grooves cut across this handle add further purchase, and brass pins secure the scales through the full tang. Full tang construction runs the steel the length of the grip, so there is no weak joint between blade and handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicarta needs no oiling or conditioning. Wipe it clean and dry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does the Drop-Leg Sheath Provide?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black leather sheath carries the knife lower on the thigh rather than high on the belt, which keeps it clear of a pack hip belt or a seated position. Snap straps secure the handle and the leg, and a D-ring at the tip takes a tie-down cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the sheath for carrying rather than long-term storage, since leather holds humidity against steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Should You Care for It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash the blade with mild soap and warm water, then dry it. Stainless resists rust rather than being immune to it, so avoid soaking and do not put it away wet. Rinse and dry the serrations and spine teeth carefully, since debris collects in the gullets first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it out of the dishwasher and avoid steel wool or abrasive pads, which scratch the finish. A light wipe of mineral oil before long storage does no harm but is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharpen the plain edge using our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stagsteelknives.com\/blogs\/blog-posts\/best-way-to-sharpen-a-knife\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eknife sharpening guide\u003c\/a\u003e, and use a tapered rod for the serrated section.
