Looks slippery, what is it for?

I like it

that's the kirinite.  it looks wet or fluid by design.  i only sand these to about 400grit, so they have a nice grippy surface.  think hard rubber grip.  that is the feel of this one.  also all the edges are blast textured for grip as well.  it is designed as a slim belt knife and it makes a great deer processing tool.  i use one just about identical to this one for skinning and quartering out deer.  the slim blade goes through raw meat very well.  the blade shape is very useful.  we make the B3 in several different sizes.  short and fat, long and slim and some where in between.  our most popular new design right now.  fun to make them, also.  the kirinite material is very cool.  i have been using it a lot lately.  it looks so slick and pretty, but the material is very user friendly.

nice belly on that knife

Beautiful work.

That is one sexy looking blade..love the sweep of the belly and handle.
