Steel handled knives are excellent for hard use by virtue of the heft and solidity.  Our C10 Endura SS has been doing hard jobs since 1997.  The modified skinning style blade is stamped our of AUS 6 high carbon steel.  The David Boye dent is a standard feature and there are 2 sets of pre drilled holes allowing the metal clip to be positioned for tip up or tip down carry. Its stainless steel handle is perfect for custom engraving or embellishment.
