Steel used in the Bougie Banter knife
The model uses American CPM S45VN stainless steel, considered one of the best for blade production. It provides greater strength than CPM S30V, while maintaining corrosion resistance. In addition, it is characterized by uniformity, dimensional stability and ease of grinding.

Crossbar Lock is a reliable lock based on a crossbar that moves in the notches of the steel skeleton of the handle. The bar locks the head in the open position, and is unlocked by pulling back. The mechanism is resistant to contamination, dynamic loads and easy to operate for both right- and left-handed people. The lightweight design guarantees smooth and reliable operation.
