Strong, Stout Blade

We heat-treat AISI 8650 steel, a Ni-Cr-Mo alloy, to 52–56 HRC to make the blade strong without being brittle.
A black oxide finish is applied to prevent corrosion. Keep lightly oiled.

Durable, Nonslip Handle

The overmolded grip provides a nonslip surface that is permanently bonded to the handle and won't degrade or become sticky over time.

The handle's three-sided contoured geometry directly engages the structure of your hand for greater comfort and control.

The blade is insert molded into the handle, and two “wings” at the base of the blade resist pushing, pulling, and twisting.

Scratch thin, accurate lines onto a workpiece that are easy to see and feel, but won’t rub off.

Press the conical tip into a workpiece to mark a center point for starting drill bits and screws without wandering.

Perform a variety of piercing and punching jobs on softer materials such as foam, rubber, leather and fabric.

Insert the gradually tapered shaft through holes in two or more parts to position them for accurate fastening or welding.
