The Kizer Gemini Ki3471 is a stunning premium class knife, the result of a collaboration between Kizer and Ray Laconico, the creator of the unique knife, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern and exotic materials.The Gemini Ki3471 is a small edc folding knife, made from the finest materials and beautifully crafted details. The sandblasted knife blade is made of premium steel CPM-S35VN , hardened to a hardness of 58-60 HRC. The blade made of this steel is resistant to corrosion, retains its operational sharpness for a very long time and is relatively easy to sharpen. However, due to the chemical nature of CPM-S35VN, we recommend the use of diamond sharpeners for sharpening. Thanks to the flat cut and the drop point profile, the blade is very durable, has excellent cutting properties and the aggressive tip provides effective penetration.The blade is unfolded with a profiled folding handle with one hand, which is convenient for right and left-handed people. Thanks to ceramic ball bearings on the blade shaft, the blade closes and opens very smoothly, with a distinctive click of the lock. Before folding the blade during operation, the monolithic frame-lock lock is equipped with a replaceable steel insert and a mechanism to prevent excessive tilting of the blade.The frame-lock is one of the most durable locking mechanisms, characterized by its resistance to dirt and very comfortable operation.The sleek covers made of matte 6AL4V titanium are distinguished by their perfect and precise finish. The handle surfaces and edges are polished and slightly profiled for maximum comfortable grip. The knife's high quality and uniqueness are accentuated by blue anodized screws and a flat titanium tipped handle. A hole in the back of the handle allows for attachment of a paracord braid or cord.The Gemini Ki3471 is a folder of uncompromising quality, made with the finest materials and great attention to detail.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSPage informationBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Blade lock type Keretz lockKnife type foldingBlade type flipper machineSteel type stainless steel - CPM S35VNFurther detailsGuard hasClip for carrying hasBinding material metal - TitaniumCorrosion resistance highDull resistance okCutting type flatAssisting opening is / bearingMetersOverall length [mm] 184Blade length [mm] 79Length after folding [mm] 105Blade thickness [mm] 3Weight [g] 102Manufacturer's dataManufacturer Kizer, ChinaEAN 6926319000910
