Hunting FixedFixed Blade

Mora's hunting version of the Kansbol keeps the 4.25" profile-ground Sandvik 12C27 blade, 0.098" thick, but polishes it and adds a finger guard. The TPE handle is moulded in orange and green so it shows up in the field, and the symmetrical polymer sheath has a leather belt loop and fits either hand. It weighs 4.73 oz and costs $49.99.

Why a drop point

The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.
