Overview
5.5" Model 451 L.B. (Little Beast) full-tang fixed blade field knife, designed and made by Freeman Outdoor Gear LLC.
The CerakoteTM coated full 1/4" thick D2 tool steel full tang drop point blade features a main flat grind with a thick secondary swedge for maximum toughness and piercing ability.
The exposed pommel with jimping acts as a flat hammering surface and includes a lanyard attachment hole sized for the included 550 cord lanyard.
The blade is heat treated and double tempered to a hardness of 58-60 Rc and the cutting edge is ground razor sharp at a 40 degree included angle (20 degrees per side).
The handle scales are 3D CNC machined and contoured from tough G-10 or Canvas Micarta with palm swell and diamond texturing for a secure and comfortable grip. The handle shape provides an ergonomic and balanced grip for use in multiple positions. Enhanced parrot's beak pommel and lower front guard aid in blade retention during chopping. Both the guard and pommel feature machined slots for additional user-added cord attachment points. Cerakote coated stainless steel hardware locks all the components into place.
Included is a Spec-Ops Brand fabric sheath with thermoformed puncture-proof kydex lining.
This is a premium 100% US-made field knife designed to excel in multiple cutting chores under the most demanding conditions.
