The " PUFFIN " was named after a tough little sea going bird that flies , swims and hunts. When you first see one they look unusual till you realize how truly design specific they actually are. With a short powerful beak strong wings and the ability to not just survive but thrive by the tens of thousands in the harshest environments on the face of the planet. This blade has all the features and high quality every one of McCann Industries products has.
The " Puffin " is a full tang design with removable grip scales that are attached with socket head cap screws available at any hardware store in the event of breakage or wear. Three threaded bushings are pressed into the tang and project into sockets or counter bores as it were, that supports the grips in shear force. An added benefit to this is the ability to remove and thoroughly clean all parts. This type of attachment has been copied many times by others that wish to achieve the detail and superior performance our cutlery has always had. The attention to detail goes much further with VHG (Variable hollow grind) done on a $90,000.00 machine, not a $1,500.00 belt grinder, as is how most makers carry out this operation. The edge on our knives is micro serrated because of the type of grinding wheels we use. This general-purpose tool measures eight and five eights inch long overall with a cutting edge of four inches.
