The Paraknife FS 4.0 is an excellent tool to have around. The stainless steel drop point blade has a black oxide coating that is rust resistant, and a partially serrated edge for handling the toughest tasks. The full tang construction gives the knife strength and stability. The handle is wrapped in black paracord that is over 6 feet in length, and the lanyard adds an additional 12 inches for use in camping and emergency situations. The knife comes with a black nylon sheath that includes a flint fire starter. Just strike the blade against the rod to create a spark in any weather condition.
