The Blade(s):
The #48 Weasel features a 1095 steel, clip point blade allowing the knife to be quite versatile whether using it for peeling an apple or whittling a stick. The blade has a cutting edge of 2.875" and a nail nick for opening. The blade finish is satin. When deployed, the blade has a pronounced half stop and once past the half stop, it snaps solidly into the fully deployed position.
The Handle Construction:
The handle length allows for a solid four finger hold for most people. The handle scales are Tiger Eye Acrylic and the attaching pins and liners are brass. The bolsters, inlay shield and end cap are nickel silver giving the knife a classy look. The handle scale edges are rounded and flush with the outside perimeter making the knife pleasant to hold. The fit and finish are excellent and the blade action is crisp when opening and closing.
