Made from durable D2 steel, this knife features a concave shape that pays homage to its namesake: the volcanic maar landform produced by the intense heat and strength of Mother Nature. The D2 steel holds a sharp edge and requires less frequent sharpening while the black oxide coating enhances the corrosion resistance and the stonewash finish provides a matte look that hides scratches and is low maintenance. The modified cleaver blade is designed to excel at cutting, slicing and chopping, yet it has as modified point for piercing that traditional cleavers lack. The 2.75” cutting length works great for common slicing tasks and the belly of the blade has a rocker design allowing it to easily rock and chop. Whether you choose the MAAR for everyday carry (EDC), general utility uses or for personal-defense applications, you’ll appreciate the versatility and the knife envy it is sure to generate as you confidently chop, cut, and slice your way through daily tasks.
