Cherusker Messer / CSSD

Ryback Specs While the blade on the Ryback is listed as 120 mm (around 4.75 inches) long, the actual cutting edge is 113 mm (slightly less than 4.5 inches). The general blade shape might be called a “modified santoku” pattern, 1-7/8 inches wide. Chinese 8Cr10MoV stainless (Rc 58) is used for the blade steel. A massive frame-lock holds the blade securely in the open position. To accommodate this lock, only one side of the handle frame is covered with a black G10 scale while the other is left bare stainless steel. There is also a steel carry-clip on the bare side of the handle frame for tip-up right-hand carry. Weight of the knife, 255 grams or around 9 ounces.
