The Shrimp has a 1.75" blade and a 2.5" handle. The blade is made of premium 8Cr13MoV stainless steel in a high satin finish. Although short, it is fully featured, with a modified drop point shape with recurve. It is high hollow ground and has a slight swedge on the top edge. It is opened by a large CNC-milled nail notch. There are aggressive friction grooves on the spine for the thumb. But most impressively, the blade is a full 0.125" (3.2 mm) thick, a width common on much larger folders. The Shrimp has a frame lock build, eliminating the need for separate liners. The right side frame is 3Cr13 stainless steel on all models. The left frame is 6061 anodized aluminum on the colored models, and stainless steel on the bead blast model 1181. The left frame is skeletonized to save weight. To aid grip, there are two finger choils and the frame has a rounded contour. The combination of thick blade, solid frame lock and large blade pivot means that this is one shrimp that doesn't wiggle! The Shrimp has a removable stainless steel pocket clip in bead blast finish. Torx fasteners are used throughout. There are Lubrous washers on the bushings at the blade pivot. And there's a small key chain loop that folds out of the frame. And finally, they've added a back spacer of moonglow plastic that glows in the dark, so you can quickly find your Shrimp at night.
