CPM S35VN - American martensitic stainless steel, designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while maintaining resistance for corrosion at the highest level. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is made up of niobium carbides 0.5% together with vanadium carbides 3.0% and chromium 14.0%. Replacing some niobium carbides with vanadium carbides makes it about 15-20% harder than S30V without losing wear resistance. It is also easier to process and polish. Improved strength of CPM S35VN provides better resistance to edge chipping. The CPM process yields very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Manufactured in steel mills Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM).

Head - of profile Leaf-Shaped (leaf shape), thickness 3.1 mm. Made of excellent steel CPM S35VN, which is an improved version of the popular S30V. Blade Plain (smooth) were derived full flat grind (Full Flat Grind). Enlarged 14 mm round cutout SpyderHole (Spyderco patent) makes it easy to open the folder with cold or wet hands. Notched section of the back of the head, ramp (spine jimping) positions the thumb, gives solid support, makes it easier to operate the knife.

Skeleton - of solid, skeletonized stainless steel plates provides exceptional structural strength, while also forming the basis of the head locking mechanism Liner-Lock, by Michael Walker with jimped liner. The whole thing was screwed together with screws torx for easy unfolding and folding of the folder.

Handle - profiled in blue. Made with lightweight textured facings of durable FRN (fiberglass-reinforced-nylon). Metal clip with four-way clip positions (up/down, right/left) 4-way clip positions. In the back of the handle, a hole (lanyard hole) allowing the attachment of a safety cable.
