Flexcut's Pelican Knife is named for its beak-shaped blade. The gradual curve offers a clean slicing action similar to a skew. The tip is slightly narrowed for a tight turning radius, but not so narrow as to become fragile. It cuts very well in hollow areas. Solid ash handle is beautifully sculpted for comfort, with multiple facets for control. The premium blade is fully honed and ready for use. Made in USA.
