It fits very comfortably in the hand. The mechanism is very smooth, opening and closing is pure pleasure. Good steel and workmanship. A great proposition for a medium-sized folding knife.
Folding EDC knife featuring a blade with a Drop-Point shape and a flat ground edge. Crafted from satin-finished 154CM stainless steel, the blade is hardened to a rating of (58-61 HRC). The blade has an overall length of 91 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. For convenient deployment, the blade is fitted with a double-sided thumb stud for easy one-handed opening.
Handle scales are constructed from Valox, a durable thermoplastic material, and further strengthened with internal steel liners fabricated from 420J steel.
The handle incorporates profiled notches to enhance grip safety and ergonomic control during operation.
An Axis Lock Assist mechanism with a spring-assisted opening supports the deployment function. This mechanism provides reliable security by locking the blade firmly in place while in use or when carried. The lock system allows for ambidextrous operation, suiting both right- and left-handed users.
A reversible pocket clip is included with the knife.
