Despite the thickness of the blade, high, flat grind gives excellent cutting properties, combined with extreme durability. System ball bearings supports the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened with an oval opening in the wedge or fast flipper fins. The flipper consists of a small lever (protrusion) that extends beyond the back of the handle when the head is closed. In the open position, it acts as a stinger, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade.

The facings were bolted to the backspacer z titanium, which means practically indestructibility of such a structure.
