The Mini Osborne with the best steel in the line for wet conditions. CPM-MagnaCut holds an edge like a tool steel and resists corrosion better than most stainless — it was designed specifically to stop forcing that choice.
For a fly shop that is the relevant fact. A knife that lives in a boat bag or a wading jacket takes more moisture than most EDC knives ever see, and MagnaCut handles it without any care beyond wiping it down.
DLC Battlewash blade finish — a hard coating, tumbled, so scratches disappear into the pattern rather than standing out. Burnt Copper anodized 6061-T6 handles, black oxide hardware. Two ounces flat.
