The short robust blade of the No.12 Explorer ensures accurate cutting. The multi-material handle is fiber-reinforced to withstand extreme temperatures, knocks and exposure to water. The heel of the handle features a 110 decibel whistle, a flint fire-starter to rub on the back of the blade, a steel cutting hook for twine and large game. The hook is detachable for easy cleaning and features a hole allowing you to secure the knife almost anywhere with a lanyard or clip.
