Paragon Warlock-X Smooth Black Aluminum, Black Cerakote CPM S35VN (WLOCX-DUNE-THEME)

TheWarlock-X Smooth Black Aluminum, Black Cerakote differs from traditional folding knives by using an innovative opening mechanism. The large, textured pivot serves as a dual locking button. By pressing both sides of the pivot at the same time, the Handle splits, exposing the Blade; through gravity and wrist movement, the Blade will slide out to the open position. This is a fun and innovative opening mechanism, effective and also provides a solid lock. The Warlock knows how to get down to business and will work as long as you want it to, but it's also capable of satisfying your thirst for fun. It's a knife you'll always be happy to have with you.

Smooth - a series distinguished by the perfectly smooth surface of the Handle.

Dune Edition - a way of finishing where the edges of the handle and the blade are rubbed to bring out a second color from under the coating.

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.

Cerakote™ - a ceramic-based finish that can be applied to metals to improve a range of physical properties, including abrasion/wear and corrosion resistance. Thin-film non-reflective, low-friction matte protective coating resistant to heat, chemicals and impact. Provides durability and hardness.

Blade - Dagger type , sharpened on both sides (Double Edge), coated with black Cerakote™ coating and rubbed on the edges. The smooth Plain blade was derived with a flat grind, which provides strength, excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. A double center hole grain further strengthens the blade. Smooth and smooth gravity opening, clamshell locking mechanism.

Clamshell - the locking mechanism is operated by buttons located in the pivot on both sides of the handle. When both buttons are pressed, the handle swings open allowing the blade to open by gravity. Once open, releasing the buttons causes both grips to slide down locking the blade securely. Closure is analogous, press the pivot, the facings swing apart, gravity fold the Blade inward, release the pivot, the grips come together securing the blade in the closed position.

Handle - grips made of solid aluminum, very light and durable material. Bolted together with a Clamshell locking mechanism. Thanks to this design, the knife is very light, while maintaining high strength. The right-handed, single-position titanium deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up (blade up) position. Grips with a smooth surface characteristic of the Smooth series. Double finger guard double-sided hilt protects your hand from slipping on the blade.
