Our "Puffin" was named after a tough little sea-going bird that flies , swims, and hunts with the best of them. They seem odd little creatures, until you realize how design specific they truly are. With their short powerful beak and strong wings, they have the ability to not just survive, but to thrive in the harshest environments on the face of the planet. Our Puffin is no less durable and is built to survive under the harshest of conditions. This blade has all the features and attention to quality found in all of our products. The "Puffin" is a full tang design with removable grip scales attached by socket-head cap screws; available at any hardware store in case of breakage or wear. Three threaded bushings are pressed into the tang and project into sockets that support the grips. This gives you the ability to remove and thoroughly clean all parts. This hallmark of McCann knives has been copied many times by others trying to mimic our quality and superior performance. Our attention to detail goes much further. We use a VHG (Variable hollow grind) edge done on a $90,000 CNC machine, not a $1,500 belt grinder like most knife makers. The edge on our knives is micro serrated thanks to our special grinding wheels. This general-purpose outdoorsman’s tool measures eight and five-eights inch long overall with a cutting edge of four inches. Steel alloy ............................

Micarta A lanyard hole is located at the butt end for retention or to mount a handy length of parachute cord. All exposed edges are chamfered with a 45-degree bevel. When the knives come back to us from heat-treat they are vibro-deburred with ceramic, then sandblasted before parkerizing. All this detail adds up to a perfectly sized and balanced, beautifully sculpted, work of art. Our Puffin comes with a high-quality leather sheath and comes ready to go to work as your lifetime hunting and fishing companion. $234 USD $10.50 Shipping and Handling in USA
