WE Knife Gnar Black Titanium, Black Stonewashed CPM S35V by Matt Degnan (917B)

Gnar Black Titanium, Black Stonewashed result of a collaboration WeKnife with american knifemaker, Matthew Degnan. He designed everyday carry knife made from the finest materials.

CPM S35VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best blade steels. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. Replacing some of the niobium carbides with vanadium carbides makes the steel about 15-20% harder than S30V without sacrificing wear resistance, and it is also easier to machine and polish. The improved strength of CPM S35VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.

Blade - type drop point. It opens with a double-sided thumb stud so it can be used by left and right-handed people without any problems. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth operation of the opening mechanism. Small thickness of blade in combination with high, flat grind gives us cutting properties almost on the level of a razor. The blade was finished with satin method. The entire blade is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert that protects the front of the lock from abrasion.

Handle - made of thick, textured titanium pieces for better grip, they were screwed to a titanium backspacer. The whole was patinated to make it look like old bronze. The simplicity and solidity of the construction give the assurance of many years of use. One-position clip (right side) made of one piece of titanium patinated to the color of the handle, allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. Above the clip there is a lanyard hole for attaching a safety or decorative cord. As in other models, the pivot is decorated with a stylized logo of the manufacturer.
