The Buck/Hood Thug is a very solid, full-tang survival knife. It is based on a design of the survival legend Ron Hood. The blade is made of 5160 carbon steel. This type of steel has excellent shock-absorbing properties. Thanks to the special blade shape, this knife is also suitable for light chopping and lumberwork.
The grooves in the handle and the extra finger groove for the index finger, give a pleasant grip to the user. The micarta handles with red liners give this knife a stylish, yet tough appearance.
The knife comes with a black nylon sheath, MOLLE-compatible.
