Durable blade
Head with tanto profile was entirely covered with a dark-colored coating. The way of finishing effectively masks all kinds of traces of work, protecting the surface from scratches. The renowned CPM CruWear tool steel was used in the construction of the blade. Crucible Industries brand steel hardens to a hardness of 63-65 HRC, therefore, it maintains high sharpness for a long time and has high mechanical strength. It is also resistant to corrosion. When choosing a hard-steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, because sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
Immediate disassembly
The blade is unfolded by sliding the of the moled slider forward, folding only requires reversing the slider in the opposite direction. The item has deep milling, so it does not slip in the hand and can also be operated with gloves.
Internal security features
The blade is extended and folded only after the full and controlled sliding the zipper, so the knife is safe to use and carry. Inside the knife is a counterweight on springs to give momentum to the blade. The blade itself is locking in both the front and rear positions via pivoting pins in 3 places. This makes the whole process instantaneous and, most importantly, completely safe.
Ergonomic handle
The knife's comfortable handling is ensured by a lightweight handle made of grivory plastic. It is a modern polyamide, with high resistance to high temperatures, reaching up to 250 degrees Celsius. The grip has a contoured shape and is textured, which guarantees an excellent grip on the hand and prevents the knife from slipping.
