The actual blade of the knife is 2.12in/5.38cm, with a defined clip point and flat grind – finished with a bead blast.

Same reason I didn't try returning the Tops kukri which I am still embarrassed about having spent so much on a blade that has no use. I am on the vulnerable list and virtually can't go outside.
