Ohta OFB SS 75 Black Canvas Micarta fixed knife

The Ohta OFB SS 75 is a remarkably beautiful knife, made by master knife maker Hiroaki Ohta. The 75 in the name refers to the 75 mm blade length. This is already quite compact for a fixed knife, which is also reinforced by the low blade height. As such the Ohta OFB SS 75 is a great EDC pocket knife to carry in your pocket.
The blade is made from D2 steel. A tough type of steel that has been popular in the world of knives for years. It retains its sharpness well and is easy to sharpen. Do, however, be careful with corrosion: D2 is not completely stainless. Fruit acids and such need to be rinsed off after use, otherwise you will see discolourations on the blade.
##Canvas Micarta
Micarta is a great material for pocket knife handles. This material is comprised of canvas fibres and synthetic resin. Offers enough grip and feels great in hand. The great thing about micarta is that it absorbs the greases from your hands and will form a patina as a result. As such each handle will be unique in time!
The Ohta OFB SS comes in a remarkable leather, almost Scandinavian-styled, sheath. It contains a metal clip. With it you can hang it from the belt loop of your jeans.
