The 70mm long blade is made of popular 8Cr13MoV steel hardened to 57-59 HRC. The stainless steel used is distinguished by good corrosion resistance and hardenability comparable to AUS6. The 8Cr13MoV steel blade will be great for everyday use, due to its good sharpness retention and ease of sharpening, for which a pocket whetstone is completely sufficient.

The massive tanto profile blade has a striking stonewashed finish, which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions to the blade from use. The tanto type blade has a straight cutting edge with a geometric kink completely devoid of belly, which contributes to the high strength of the hilt. Such a design guarantees efficient cutting, high tip strength, and eye-catching styling. The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.

The blade is unfolded with one hand using a milled flipper, a solution convenient for both right and left-handed users. The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe assist mechanism. When the flipper flipper is pressed, the assist mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade, making the knife ready for use in a fraction of a second. Once the blade is unfolded, it is securely locked with a liner-lock mechanism. The steel locking bar provides a high level of safety, and its operation is very intuitive and convenient. A reliable lock is an important element calling for the functionality and safety of the folding knife.
The knife's handle is lined with fiberglass-reinforced nylon, which is attached to steel liners (reinforcing inserts). The contoured shape of the grip and the fine texture make this small knife fit securely in the hand and comfortable for everyday use.
Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by a high-set clip with an attachment option on both sides of the handle. There is a hole in the top of the handle that can be used to weave in a paracord tail or lanyard.
