This folder is absolutely top tier. The CPM-M4 steel blade offers phenomenal durability and retains sharpness even during heavy use. The G10 laminate handle with pronounced texture provides a secure grip, and the construction with the Axis Lock and ambidextrous opening makes the knife operate smoothly and comfortably. Despite outstanding materials and build, the weight doesn't feel excessive — it's comfortable to carry and works well not only outdoors, but also for everyday use. Users emphasize that it's one of the best folders in this class.
Everyday carry folding knife (EDC) equipped with a Drop-Point blade crafted from CPM-M4 stainless tool steel featuring a hardness of 62-64 HRC. Known for outstanding durability, wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance, CPM-M4 steel is ideal for rugged conditions.
The blade features a black Cerakote coating that guards against light scratches, is non-reflective, and provides heightened resistance to wear, corrosion, extreme temperatures, and exposure to harsh chemicals. The handle is ergonomically shaped and constructed from tough G10 laminate, which withstands high temperatures. Its textured surface delivers a secure grip during operation, and added steel liners enhance the structure’s strength.
Ambidextrous thumb stud offers swift and effortless blade deployment for both left- and right-handed use. In the open position, the blade is secured with a reliable Axis Lock mechanism for safe operation.
Split Arrow clip is reversible and can be mounted on either side of the handle, supporting flexible everyday carrying. The knife can be clipped to a belt, pocket, backpack, or other gear for convenient access.
