The Blade
The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, known for its superior edge retention and corrosion resistance—a result of cryogenic heat treatment achieving an impressive hardness of 60-62 HRC. The clip point style provides versatility in tasks requiring precision cuts while ambidextrous thumb studs offer ease of deployment.
A stone-tumbled finish not only enhances durability but also gives it a rugged aesthetic fit for any environment. With a flat grind and hand-honed edge, this blade promises sharpness that won't easily dull under pressure.
A Design Focused on Functionality
The handle features black Polyamide Nylon 12 reinforced with glass fibers—lightweight yet robust enough to withstand demanding use conditions. Its crosshatch texture ensures a secure grip whether in wet or dry conditions.
An innovative ambidextrous ABLE Lock mechanism secures the blade reliably during use while allowing smooth operation regardless of hand dominance.
User-Friendly Features
- The deep carry pocket clip is made from stainless steel offering ambidextrous attachment options; right or left-handed tip-up carry ensures adaptability according to user preference.
- A thoughtfully positioned lanyard hole allows additional carrying flexibility or quick retrieval when needed most urgently.
