Japanese AUS-8 steel
The blade is made of Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel, which is used in utility knives. It is characterized by good corrosion resistance and is relatively easy to sharpen. It offers a good balance of wear resistance and edge retention while maintaining good toughness.
Sheepsfoot blade with black oxide finish
The blade, with a Sheepsfoot profile, is 83 mm long and 3.2 mm thick. It features a smooth cutting edge achieved through a hollow grind. The blade is finished with black oxide, which provides anti-reflective and anti-corrosion properties. The spine of the blade, where the thumb rests, features jimping, which improves control over the tool during use.
frame lock, flipper opening
A durable Frame Lock is responsible for locking the blade in place. The knife is opened manually using a flipper, which also serves as a cross guard, and the smooth deployment of the blade is facilitated by the Ultra Glide mechanism, which is based on ball bearings.
Comfortable everyday carry is ensured by a spring-loaded steel clip that allows the knife to be easily attached to a belt or the edge of a pocket. At the end of the handle is a hole for threading a lanyard.
