The River Shorty was made to tackle the specific demands of water-related activities like rafting, paddling, and diving. It has a high-carbon stainless steel blade with the serrated sharp side aiming up rather than down and a blunt tip for safety. The handle is black, glass-filled nylon with notched edges for extreme grip. The sheath is constructed of a hard plastic and it can be worn on your belt, boot, or attached to a flotation vest.
