spear-point blade with stonewash finish
Equipped with a Spear-Point profile, the blade measures 78 mm in length and 2.7 mm in thickness. A smooth cutting edge with a flat grind offers optimal slicing capability. The blade's geometry delivers excellent cutting performance and maintains solid durability, enabling the knife to handle demanding tasks. Finished using the Stonewash method, the blade obtains a matte surface that minimizes glare and enhances resistance to scratches.
GFN laminate scales, steel clip
Ergonomically shaped handle scales are crafted from GFN laminate, a glass-fiber reinforced nylon known for its outstanding resistance to mechanical wear and external influences. A non-slip surface texture delivers a firm and reliable grip during operation. Everyday carry convenience is enhanced by a spring-loaded clip affixed to the handle, allowing secure attachment to a belt or pocket. Designed to accommodate both right- and left-handed users, the clip is reversible. A lanyard hole at the handle’s end offers the option to attach a safety cord or lanyard.
Tri-Ad Lock, double-sided thumb stud
Equipped with the Tri-Ad Lock system, recognized as one of the most robust locking mechanisms available for folding knives. This advanced lock utilizes a stop pin that absorbs the blade’s force, channeling the pressure into the handle to safeguard against wear. Over time, the mechanism self-adjusts, continually ensuring dependable lock performance. The blade is fitted with a double-sided thumb stud for fast, one-handed deployment.

GFN (Glass Filled Nylon) is a nylon reinforced with glass fiber, offering low weight, high durability, and resistance to moisture and many chemicals. The material performs exceptionally well in demanding conditions, maintaining its strength even under intensive use. GFN surfaces may be completely smooth or textured to improve grip, providing better control and overall ergonomics. The robustness of GFN handles has made this material a standard in the production of EDC (Everyday Carry) knives as well as lightweight tactical designs.
