Key parameters
Key benefits
- Fully waterproof design – no openings, no corrosion-prone surfaces, even around the pivot or peened joint

- Full-flat grind and clean drop-point – precise cutting power, efficient fish preparation or outdoor tasks
- G‑10 with diamond texture – secure in hand even when wet or dirty

- 🔴 Drawbacks
- LC200N is not super hard – the edge needs touch-ups more often – it tends to roll, but is easy to restore
- The full-flat profile is not for chopping wood – ideal for slicing and preparation, not chopping work
- Larger size on the belt may feel intrusive – the handle tip can protrude and press against the user
