Reinforced fully dismountable construction combined with torx screws facilitates cleaning, adjustment of the folder. Produced at the Spyderco factory in the USA (Golden, Colorado).
Micro-Melt® Maxamet, an extremely hard and durable modern American low friction powder tool steel. Going beyond the performance of conventional tool steels, it comes close to carbide, the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. This phenomenal steel is manufactured in the US by Carpenter Technology Corporation.
Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) patented by the company Spyderco (made in the USA) mechanism blocking the blade. Extremely durable, provides extreme strength and ease of use. The handle on the back protects the knife against unintentional closing. When locking, the fingers are not in the way of the folding blade.
Blade - laser-cut with a modified Clip Point profile, 3.7 mm thick. Satin Finish (semi-matte) coat, which eliminates reflections. Smooth blade (Plain type) was made with a Full Flat Grind that increases cutting properties and reduces the weight of the knife. An enlarged 14 mm round SpyderHole cut-out (Spyderco patent) allows you to open the knife also in the glove. A notched thumb ramp and Finger Choil (profiled undercut finger between the handle and the cutting edge) increase control over the knife.
Handle - covered with non-slip textured facings in dark gray. Made of G-10 plastic (durable, resistant to high and low temperatures, chemicals) screwed to steel liners using torx screws. The folder is equipped with a screw-on metal clip with 4-way clip positions (up/down, right/left). Enlarged hole (lanyard hole) for pulling a lanyard or safety line.
