Heralded as the father of modern Damascus steel forging and the founder of the American Bladesmith's Society, Bill Moran -- during his "retirement" years -- collaborated with Spyderco to create a fixed blade design that remains a bestseller many years later.A mid-sized knife, the Moran has a matte black carbon nitride finish on the blade for optimum stealth. The VG-10 steel blade has a drop-point shape, tapered from handle to tip, with a flat-ground edge that remains keen over many uses. The cutting edge's arcing belly ends with just enough tip-point for detailed cutting and caping. An FRN handle fits comfortably and naturally in the palm, and is inlayed with a panel of nonslip Kraton material. Ideal for hunting, camping, and many other outdoor applications, this knife additionally includes a convenient molded Boltaron sheath with multi-position G-clip that attaches easily to a belt or pack.SpecificationsEight-inch total length3.9-inch VG-10 steel blade3.4-inch cutting edge0.125-inch blade thickness0.2-inch hole diameterThree-ounce weightWarrantySypderco knives include a limited manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
