CPM MagnaCut powdered stainless steel manufactured using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened to 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more “conventional” steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM MagnaCut succeeded in creating a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This unique steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' U.S. mills.

Ball Bearing-Lock, one of the strongest blade locking mechanisms. Hardened ball bearing housed in a black polymer basket in the open position pressed against the blade by a spring. Made in USA.

Blade - with Leaf-Shaped profile, finished with elegant satin finish. Plain blade was derived with Full Flat Grind. The flat grind provides excellent cutting edge geometry with a sharp tip. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allows the knife to be opened even with a glove. The pronounced Finger Choil - an arched undercut for the index finger and a notched thumb ramp on the Blade's back increase the knife's control.

Handle - in bright yellow, characteristic of the SALT line. Non-slipbi-directional textured covers (Bi-Directional Texturing) strengthen the grip even with wet hands. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon plastic. The covers are attached to the spacer / connector of the Handle grips (backspacer), which provides strength and rigidity to the whole structure. Metal wire clip (steel wire clip) with two-position (right/left) attachment. In the backspacer of the Handle a hole (lanyard hole) for a safety or decorative cord.
