The full-length 87mm-long blade is made of popular 440A stainless steel hardened to55-57 HRC. Thanks to its increased carbon content, the steel resists wear, retains its working sharpness for a long time, and sharpens relatively quickly and easily, which is important for those who don't have much experience using a knife. The slim drop-point profile blade is additionally coated with a black anti-corrosion coating.

The blade can be easily and quickly unfolded with one hand using an enlarged f lipper. These methods are convenient for both right- and left-handed users, and allow us to operate the knife with gloves as well. The classic liner-lock, valued for its strength and ease of use, effectively protects the blade from accidental folding. The mechanism consists of a spring-loaded bar, which locks the blade, resting on its back side.

The handle has G-10 laminate and carbon fiber facings. The glass-epoxy laminate used is characterized by light weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature change, as well as many acids and solvents. The profiled shape of the grip and fine texturing make the knife fit securely in the hand, regardless of the size of the hand. Thanks to the use of a clip, the knife can be carried discreetly in a trouser pocket (in the tip-up position), on a belt or on a belt sheath.
