Viper Katla Black Canvas Micarta Folding Knife, Stonewashed M390 by Jesper Voxnaes (V5982CG)

Katla, Black Canvas Micarta, Stonewashed

Ultra-premium folder aimed at discerning buyers, combines elegant style with the best materials. Design by respected Danish knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes. The folder combines two different concepts of opening the head supported by ball bearings, a deep titanium clip and the legendary quality of workmanship for which the brand is known Viper.

M390 Microclean® - martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so that the blade remains sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is the resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. High chromium steel 20.0% (Cr) doped 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC, subjected to vacuum treatment i cryogenic and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Head - modified Tanto with a clearly marked blade belly with a stonewashed finish Stonewashed. The small thickness of the blade, combined with the with a high, flat grind gives razor-level cutting properties. System ball bearings supports smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened with pins thumb stud or a very fast flipper fins. Locking mechanism Liner-Lock.

Handle - facings of black Canvas Micarta (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin). Bolted to a CNC-milled machine tool backspacer, which means practically indestructibility of such a structure. Backspacer and decorative ring around pivot the so-called pivot collar was made of phosphor bronze (phosphor bronze). Right, single-position titanium clip deep carry, allows you to carry the knife discreetly in a tip-up position tip-up (tip up). At the end of the handle lanyard hole, cable hole.
