Supercell Darkblasted Titanium, Darkblasted is a robust EDC folder designed by K.C. Spiron. The blade is made of vacuum-hardened and ice-hardened Sandvik 14C28N steel. This ensures high durability and long-lasting sharpness. Handle made of durable, lightweight titanium with a micro-milled texture. It provides a comfortable and stable grip in all conditions. The design offers two independent ways of unfolding: a classic hole and a flipper-type fin. Safe use is guaranteed thanks to the proven liner lock. The knife is suitable for everyday tasks, from precise cutting to more demanding field work. The shape of the tool combines minimalist aesthetics with efficiency. Supercell is a reliable, functional accessory for any demanding user.

14C28N - martensitic stainless chromium steel is the latest development in the range of knife steels produced by the Swedish steelworks Sandvik. The optimized chemical composition with a unique combination ensures the highest quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the carbon content to 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content to 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen to 0.11% (N), the corrosion resistance has been significantly increased. Considered an improved version of 13C26. Unbeatable in the price/quality category!

Vacuum & Cryogenic - 14C28N steel undergoes a specialized heat treatment process involving two key stages. Vacuum Heat Treatment - the steel is hardened in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the strength and structural integrity of the steel. Cryogenic Treatment After heating, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -100°C (-148°F). This transformation changes the residual austenite into martensite, significantly increasing the hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, 14C28N steel ensures exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and extraordinary blade durability.

Blade - classic drop point, bead blasted and grey-coated to hide minor scratches caused by use. The thickness of the blade in combination with the flat grind results in a perfect cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure a smooth and quiet mechanism and support the opening of the blade with the help of a hole in the handle or flipper, which, when opened, acts as a mini guard to prevent the hand from sliding onto the blade. Upper jimping on the spine of the blade, a corrugated thumb rest. The locking mechanism is a durable Liner Lock.

Handle - profiled grips made of titanium 6AL4V, micro-milled with a fine texture. The whole is screwed to a solid backspacer, also made of titanium. The simple, solid construction ensures many years of use. The pivot axis is adorned with a titanium cap (Pivot Cap) in a contrasting color. Two-position (right/left) titanium deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in a tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). The forefinger groove improves grip and creates a mini guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the blade.
