Steel

M390 Microclean - the highest quality modern powder steel, with extremely high corrosion and abrasion resistance. High-chromium vanadium-doped steel with a hardness of 60-61 HRC. Double quenched in a vacuum atmosphere and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Manufactured at the Austrian smelter Böhler-Uddeholm.

Head

Versatile type Drop Point with a clearly marked belly finished with a scratch-masking method Stonewashed. 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.

Frame-Lock - reinforced, monolithic wedge lock made of titanium Ti6AI4V. One of the facings that serves as the locking mechanism is reinforced with a hardened steel insert to prevent wiping of the lock face.

Handle

Asymmetrical on one side milled with a machine tool CNC cladding of green G10 (fiberglass compressed under pressure with synthetic resin), on the other being the base of the lock a piece of solid titanium finished with Stone Washed. The facings were bolted to the backspacer z titanium, which means practically indestructibility of such a structure. Right, single-position titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in a tip-up position tip-up (blade tip up). At the end of the handle lanyard hole, cable hole.
