The Schrade 500 knives are tactically built utility folders with both style and function. The handle is a comfortably contoured G10 with multiple runs of jimping for a secure hold in various grips. The thumb studs work equally as well as the flipper and the knife has the added bonus of a glass breaker on the butt end. This is a great knife design and is good looking to boot with the smooth ground G10 and blackwash finished blade.
