NY-4 Small Tanto Hunter
Master Yamamoto selected SG-II, a reputable Japanese Powdered High Speed Tool Steel, for this blade because it offers extra high cutting performance. The SG-II Damascus blade has a unique Hammered texture and a compact size, which makes it handy and useful. The knife has a Drop Point Blade and a forged Integral Handle, which is decorated with the same hammered texture. The contrasting black Para-Cord wrap and lanyard hole add further practicality and style. A handcrafted leather sheath, with belt loop, is also included with the knife.
