Forged Carbon Fiber  - the main difference between regular carbon fiber and forged carbon fiber (also known as Forged Composite) is that it is made from finely chopped carbon fibers. There is no distinct pattern, as the fibers are oriented completely randomly, making each Forged Carbon product unique. The finished product has a completely different aesthetic compared to its woven counterpart, resembling marbled carbon fiber rather than fabric.

D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat -treated to 58-60 HRC. With a high chromium content of 13.0% (Cr), it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.

Blade - modified Straight Back S/E (Single Edge), type, sharpened on one side. Coated with a titanium-based black finish. The generous belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards a needle-sharp tip. The thickness of the blade combined with a high flat grind gives excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. Opening the blade, which can be opened with a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper creates a mini-fence to prevent your hand from slipping on the blade. To maintain full control of the blade, there is a notched thumb rest on the back of the upper jimping wedge. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular button lock.

Handle - made with excellent precision from Forged Carbon Fiber composite, a virtually indestructible material, insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The surface texture and jimping on the back and bottom of the handle make the knife non-slip in the hand during use. The solid backspacer to which the grips are attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. The ergonomic profile and the two-position (right/left) clip, allow the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket, in tip-down position (with the tip of the blade down). The protruding section of the backspacer contains a lanyard hole, a place for a safety or decorative cord. It can also serve as an improvised glass breaker.

Case - the knife is packed in a Velcro velcro-fastened nylon soft pouch for safe handling and storage of the folder.
