Basically, it's a leaf-shape E-Nep.
With diff "natural" handle material; bamboo root, rattan and hardwood, consecutively.
Spring steel, 10" blade . . .
Hidden tang and natural material is good as shock absorber.
And IMHO the idea behind it, is that, traditionally, it's a convenient "backyard" material, can be replaced whenever one wants.
Recently, these're my fav native blades.
And my EDC for the woods trip.
