The Black Bird ML5 maintains the same great shape as the original Black Bird Series. Upgraded handle scales to black Micarta, CPM-S35VN blade, and a nylon sheath create a higher end option for the consumer. This knife is still a great companion for any outdoorsman while bushcrafting, camping, hunting, hiking, or all of the above. The nylon sheath with belt attachment adds easy and secure carrying to this piece along with the extremely durable Micarta handles for comfort and rigidity.
