The high quality of the materials used, the optimal size of the blade, the reliable lock and the well thought-out functionality have made this knife model unbroken in popularity for years.American stainless steelThe blade with an optimal length of 86 mm is made from the CPM-S20V powder, hardened to a hardness of 59-61 HRC . The CPM-S20V is an American "super steel" with parameters that match the exclusive Bohler M390 stainless steel.Due to its high chromium content and high vanadium carbide content, it is characterized by exceptionally good corrosion and wear resistance and very long edge retention .When choosing a knife made from this steel, it is advisable to obtain a diamond sharpener, because sharpening with a standard ceramic saw stone can be very time consuming and ineffective.Wide blade can be used with drop point profile , with dual finish: satin on the cut and stone-washed on the top. Thanks to the strong edge, the slight curvature of the edge and the flat grinding, the blade penetrates perfectly and cuts very smoothly .The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 4 mm , which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work. The back of the blade features transverse cutters that create a very stable support for the thumb or index finger.The advantages of this solution will be appreciated by all knife users when planing or precision cutting.Instant blade openingThe blade can be quickly opened using a hand enlarged flipper or double sided pin. Alternatively, the user can use the knife as desired. Both solutions are convenient for both right and left-handed people.The blade shaft is equipped with KVT ball bearings, thanks to which the blade operates very smoothly and dynamically , and everyday use of the knife is pure pleasure.Work safelyThe blade is effectively protected against accidental folding by a monolithic frame lock, which is equipped with a hardened steel insert that prevents wear on the titanium.The frame lock is a solid lock, considered to be one of the most durable locking mechanisms, characterised by its resistance to dirt and very comfortable operation.Modern materialsThe profiled sheath of the knife is made of the highest quality materials, namely titanium and carbon fibre.The carbon fibre is an extremely light and durable material, which gives the knife an undeniably prestigious appearance.Interchangeable clipThe knife can be carried discreetly in the pocket thanks to the clip, which is fixed high up and can be fitted on either side of the handle.SPECIFICATIONSSheet informationBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 59-61Blade lock type Frame lockKnife type foldingSteel type stainless steel - CPM 20CV Additional informationClip is included for transportSheath material metal - titanium,Carbon fibreCorrosion resistance highDull resistance very highCut type flat Opening also / bearingApplication (normal use) EDCMetersOverall length [mm] 211Blade length [mm] 89Length after folding [mm] 122Blade thickness [mm] 4Weight [g] 156
