The Assaucalypse Compact fixed blade carries signature Bastinelli style and comfort. Like the full-size version, this Compact knife seems to defy its size and feels quite nimble in hand, yet capable of larger cutting chores. The blade is flat ground D2 steel with a gently swept cutting edge. Milled handles create an excellent interface with this great tool. The Assaucalype Compact comes with a Kydex sheath.
