American steel in the Kizer Gemini knife
The Drop Point profile head is made of Nitro-V steel. It is a stainless, martensitic steel with high chromium content. The alloy was enriched with nitrogen and vanadium. This increased the hardness of the material, while reducing susceptibility to corrosion. Because of the last property, Nitro-V is used in tools used in humid environments. The steel performs very well as a material used in the production of tactical, hunting and EDC knives. It has been hardened to between 61 and 62 HRC.
The blade was coated with a black protective coating, which protects the blade from minor scratches during use of the folder.
The blade is set on ceramic ball bearings, so the knife opens smoothly and provides a high culture of operation. The blade is opened with a Flipper, which provides high comfort for right- and left-handed users. In the open position, the Flipper acts as a gut, which further protects the user.
