My HM1 is made sturdy and excellent edge. The handle finger grooves gives the knife an excellent grip and I'm not concerned with my hands slipping.

About the HM1
A three and three quarter inch blade with an integrated finger ring, so the grip stays put in a wet or gloved hand.
Full description
The HM1 solves one problem: a knife that moves in your hand when your hand is wet, cold or gloved. The handle carries an integrated finger ring, so your grip is set by the geometry rather than by how hard you can squeeze. Three and three quarter inches of blade on an eight inch knife. Useful where you are working one handed and cannot afford to reset your grip, which in practice means boat work, wet weather and anything you are doing in gloves. 1095 high carbon steel with an acid etched or Cerakote finish. It sharpens quickly and it will patina, so keep it dry and oiled. G10 handle, Kydex sheath with a Tek-Lok belt clip. Ground, heat treated and fitted by hand in North Carolina, then built when you order it.

Heat treat, Stroup shop. A walkthrough video for the HM1 is on the list.

Great blade design with ring retention keeps blade ready under stress. G10 handle feels great with just enough grip. It’s my go to fixed blade for field when the Mini isn’t in my pocket. Belly may even allow for field dressing whitetail, we shall see😊
Well made. Looks and feels awesome.
Awesome, it perfect with my staccato version that you also 😀
