Blade type: The Tong is a straight-edged variant inspired by South African biltong knives—a blend of sheepsfoot and wharncliffe design. It uses a full-flat grind with a razor-sharp micro-bevel, optimized for slicing and maintenance ease.

Steel: Made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, known for its decent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, though considered entry-level from a performance steel standpoint .

Handle: Lightweight FRN (fiber-reinforced nylon) with a distinctive honeycomb texture, offering grip even when wet. Includes skeletonized liners, a lanyard hole, and tip-up pocket clip (right side carry) .

Opening mechanism: Dual deployment via finger flipper or thumb hole, aided by a smooth ball-bearing pivot, resulting in frictionless blade release and closure.
