Damasteel® Super Dense Twist ™ - suitable for any application, creates a very nice star pattern on the back of the blade and bevel. This steel has a proud tradition associated with rifle barrels. Austenitic Damascus-pattern Damasteel steel is a powder-based stainless steel made from two alloys, 304L and 316L. Each alloy provides a good combination of ductility and corrosion resistance. These alloys are used in a variety of products designed for use in certain conditions. Some examples include jewelry, watches and other EDC applications where corrosion resistance and aesthetics are important.

Fingers Safe Opening System - the blade opens by gently pressing a button and then sliding it into a milled half circle. The blade is closed by sliding the button in the opposite direction. Thanks to the design, our fingers will never get in the way of the blade. The locking mechanism is operated by a slider located within reach of the thumb on the side of the knife's handle.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of a workpiece.

The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.

Blade - Sheepsfoot type blade , finished by etching in acid to bring out the unique damascus patterns. The knife is opened with a peg in the Handle sliding in a milled semicircle. The solid thickness of the blade combined with a high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Smooth and smooth opening is ensured by the gently notched button of the Fingers Safe Opening System or by using a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper forms a mini-garden to prevent your hand from slipping on the blade. The whole thing is locked with an intuitive Fingers Safe Opening System lock .

Handle - openwork, timascus bolsters (titanium damast) and grips made of black PVD-coated titanium , a virtually indestructible metal, insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The massive Carbon Fiber 3K composite backspacer gives the whole structure the desired rigidity. The simplicity and sturdiness of the construction give assurance of many years of use.
