Straight to the point
While handsome, the Timberbark isn't an overly complicated knife (nor should it be). It boasts a straightforward design that hinges on its 3.2-inch 14C28N blade and G10 handle scales.

Ready with accessories
While the Timberbark knife alone is respectable and well-built, it gets boosted by the presence of a couple significant accessories included with your purchase.
For starters, there's a durable Kydex sheath and included T-Clip (designed by master knifemaker Bob Terzuola ) for easy attachment to your belt or pack, making hauling it a cinch.

The star accessory, however, is probably the included paracord lanyard. Attached to the handle's base, it's primary purpose is to rapidly deploy the knife. But it also doubles as an emergency tool that can be used to build shelter, brace wounds, build traps and so on.
