Information from the Ironstone catalog

Flat Iron Folder

The Flat Iron Folder’s strong, wide spear-point blade is so versatile that its uses are practically limitless-skinning, whittling, any general cutting chore. The hollow ground blade boasts a cusp on the back of the blade over the Spyderco Trademark Round Hole™ for a thumb rest. The handle? Made from the same lightweight fiberglass reinforced nylon resin as all other Spyderco lightweights; with a Volcano-Grip pattern, a teardrop shaped drying vent for use in wet environments, and of course, a pocket clip. Available in a 50/50 SpyderEdge/PlainEdge blade only, the Flat Iron Folder retails for a suggested price of $58.95
