CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels in the world, an American premium martensitic stainless steel. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Designed to provide better wear resistance while maintaining corrosion resistance at the highest level. This super steel is comparable to Bohler's M390 steel or Carpenter's CTS-204P. According to some knife manufacturers, 20CV is the best of these three steels in terms of edge retention. It consists of 19.0% carbon, 20.0% chromium, 4.0% vanadium, 1.0% molybdenum and 0.6% tungsten. The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.
Blade - type sheepsfoot. Opens with a flipper, so it can be easily used by left and right-handed people. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth operation of the opening mechanism. Small thickness of the blade in combination with high, flat grind gives us cutting properties almost on the level of a razor. On the back we find perfectly made "jimping", notches on which we can put our finger to improve grip and control over the knife during use. The blade was finished with "black stonewash" method. The knife is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert which protects the front of the lock from wear.
Handle - made of thick pieces of titanium, connected to each other with a titanium backspacer. The simplicity and solidity of the construction ensure many years of use. One-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. In the back of the backspacer there is a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord. As in other models, the pivot is decorated with a stylized logo of the manufacturer.
Included is an elegant pouch for carrying/storing the knife.
