Based on custom knifemaker David Rydbom’s “Bill the Butcher” design, the Stovepipe™ blends dramatic style with serious performance. Its stout cleaver shaped blade is crafted from 4mm (.157-inch) thick CPM® 20CV® stainless steel and has a deep hollow grind for superior edge geometry. The blade is housed in a handle consisting of two painstakingly machined slabs of solid titanium joined by a titanium backspacer. The oversized pivot pin features artistic accents and serves double duty as an overtravel stop for the knife’s sturdy Reeve Integral Lock™ (R.I.L.) mechanism. A machined titanium clip provides right-side, tip-up carry and, like the scales, backspacer, and blade, features a no-nonsense industrial-style stonewashed finish.
