Ultra Accel 240 Straight
- Full 240mm stroke length clears wrist-to-thigh-thick deadfall quickly
- Rigid cast-aluminum frame eliminates handle flex during heavy draws
- Two-position blade lock allows clean, flush cuts close to the ground
- Impulse-hardened teeth retain razor sharpness across seasons of dry wood
