Achieves high hardness 60-63 HRC. Manufactured at Swedish steel plant Uddeholm.

Head - Drop Point with a clearly marked belly finished with the method of Stone Washed and coated with black PVD coating, cutting edge plain (plain). The small thickness of the wedge, combined with the high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. System iKBS ball bearings supports the smooth and smooth operation of the knife opening mechanism with a quick flippera (index-finger flipper) when opened acting as a intestine. The whole thing is locked with the proven and popular locking device liner lock.

ReF - (Removable Flipper System) located on the underside of the head projection / flipper fin supported by Double Crown makes it easy to open the blade with one hand. It consists of a small lever (projection) extending beyond the back of the handle when the head is closed.

In the folder it is possible to unscrew lever Removable Flipper System (unscrew flipper fin, and then insert the second screw included in the box) and opening the spline with both hands.
