Its main applications include bull cutting, skinning, rope and twine cutting, barn chores, and general cowboy carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixed-blade construction means the blade stays permanently seated in the handle.

A cross draw sheath sits angled on the belt so the knife can be drawn by reaching across the body, keeping the handle out of the way during roping, riding, or bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheath is intended for carrying and short-term protection.
