This model of the Grohmann #3 is known as the Boat Knife due to its triangular shaped handle that helps prevent slippage when wet. It is a General Purpose fixed blade outdoor knife, but ideal for hunting. Extremely comfortable grip for any application, from small game dressing and birds to large game.  Palm & finger fitting "offset" handle for safe grip. This model features a carbon steel blade with a regular grind and a rosewood handle. Regular "sabre" grind blade comes up about halfway on the blade. Our regular classic grind makes for a thicker, stronger blade, and was designed ideally for hunting and skinning/dressing. Grohmann offers classic Rosewood in many beautiful variations. Ranging from deep, rosy brown to blonde strips, each handle is unique as no two handles are ever the same. Plantation grown mainly in East India, this special wood is selected for its durability, colour & rich grain. A good solid handle material that gets a better grip after use, but like any good knife with quality steel it is not recommended to be left soaking in water. Rosewood is always an excellent choice for a classic handle.
