It was created for demanding users who expect the highest quality in everyday use.

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. Produced 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 - Sheepfoot type. Finished by hand with an elegant satin finish. The wide blade converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high concave grind (Hollow Grind), gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings are responsible for the smooth and smooth operation of the mechanism and support the opening of the blade with a quick flipper when opened acting as a crossguard. The knife can also be opened with a double-sided peg in the wedge. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. The whole is locked with a modern Frame Lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.

Handle - is thick pieces of titanium 6AL4V, contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. On both sides there is an inlay (insert) made of Timascus. Only a few companies are able to make the Handle with such incredible accuracy! The grips are joined together using a titanium backspacer. The right-side, single-position deep carry clip, also from Timascus, allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up (blade up) position. The pivot axis is decorated with a titanium rim (pivot collar cap).

Additional accessories - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
