Crossriver Knife, Sage

Sometimes you need a blade at the ready, STAT. That’s where this knife comes in: it’s designed with a quick release sheath that’ll keep it protected when not in use, but available to be pulled out at a moment’s notice for anything from a battle with a fish to a sudden rescue situation. The blade itself is full-tang, made from a 9Cr18MoV stainless steel with a mirror finish for corrosion resistance and a blunt safety tip to ensure you don’t accidentally puncture anything. As for the handle, it’s made a glass-reinforce polypropylene that can take on the best of the elements — anything your next adventure throws at you.
