BUYER QUESTIONS ANSWERED BEFORE THE CART, NOT AFTER THE RETURN
Is the blade high-carbon or chrome vanadium?
The catalog — the authority — says high-carbon; one retailer listing says chrome vanadium. The conflict is registered ⚑ and this page follows the catalog.
How long is the blade?
Not printed in the catalog or the official record ⚑. The store title carries 2-1/2", but we won't state a dimension no official source gives.
Is it full tang?
Not stated. Other Black & Silver families document full-tang construction; this knife's record doesn't, so we don't carry the claim over ⚑.
Can it be my only roofing knife?
If roofing is a sideline to flooring, that's its design brief. If roofing is the trade, buy the roofing line (22310/22320).
Long point or short point?
Neither — Hyde doesn't place it on that axis. It's the family's hawkbill hook form with the clearance job moved into the 5° offset handle.
Why "hollow ground" on a flooring knife?
Binding. Mastic-backed goods and built-up shingle clamp flat blade cheeks mid-pull; relieved cheeks keep the cut moving.
