The MAAR knife epitomizes TRUEs call to Take a Firm Grip by providing the every-day carry enthusiast with an assertive, bold and uncompromising design that succeeds where small, minimalist knives fall short. It is an oversized, yet pocketable knife that boasts heft, strength, and full grip ergonomics in a responsive, flipper design. The shape of the blade spine and handle scale is a nod to its namesake, the volcanic crater-like maar landform produced by Mother Natures intense heat and strength. The knife features tough D2 steel that holds a sharp edge and requires less frequent sharpening. The black oxide coating enhances the corrosion resistance and the stonewash finish provides a matte look that hides scratches and is low maintenance. The modified cleaver blade is designed to excel at cutting, slicing and chopping, yet it has as modified point for piercing that traditional cleavers lack. The broad 3.5 edge works great for common slicing tasks and the belly of the blade has a rocker design allowing it to easily rock and chop. Whether you choose the MAAR for everyday carry (EDC), general utility uses or for personal-defense applications, youll appreciate the versatility and the knife envy it is sure to generate as you confidently cut, slide, and chop your way through daily tasks
