Stainless steel blade

CPM-S30V powder steel is characterized by high hardness and resistance to damage, which ensures its proper sharpness for a long time. Additional Cerakote coating protects it from weathering and physical damage. The blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand, thanks to a double-sided peg.
Grivory-coated grip
The knife's handle is equipped with linings made of sturdy Grivory material, which is a heat-resistant plastic. Rough texturing with non-slip properties has been applied in key areas for better control of the knife.
Reliable AXIS Lock
