This knife has been perfectly fitted with a one-of-a-kind handle handmade in California, USA. Our C+M Custom Handle features a unique design - the interior aluminum tube significantly adds structural strength while keeping the weight of the handle low. It's the ultimate handle when it comes to a seamless feel and eliminates the problems of cracks, warping or gapping, particularly around rings and spacers, that can be a problem with traditional handle constructions.
