The Avalanche features tactical styling with the patented SpeedSafe assisted opening system for easy, one-handed deployment. It has a premium-quality S30V drop-point blade (straight or partially serrated) for cutting power and control. It also sports an aggressively textured G-10 handle for a super-secure grip. G-10's high tensile strength makes it virtually unbreakable. It also offers excellent thermal insulating qualities and performs well even in high humidity. A secure liner lock keeps the blade safely in place. For easy carrying, both Avalanche models include a stainless-steel pocket clip that can be adjusted for tip up or tip down carry. Blade Length: 3 1/8 in. (7.9 cm). Closed Length: 4 1/2 in. (11.3 cm). MSRP $145.00 Product Link: http://www.ebladestore.com/knives/KS-1570STB.html
