Designed by one of the world's most famous knifemakers, Allen Elishevitz!

Allen Elishewitz - a well-known American knifemaker, former member of the Board of Directors of The Knifemakers Guild, who has been creating custom knives by hand for over 35 years. One of the makers who made the EDC tactical folding knife a popular accessory. A former Marine Recon and martial arts instructor with 45 years of experience. His work has been featured in museums, books, magazines; and he has co-authored several publications. He has worked with some of the biggest companies in the knife industry creating designs that have become bestsellers.

CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels, American premium martensitic stainless steel. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates 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 (C), 20.0% chromium (Cr), 4.0% vanadium (V), 1.0% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.6% tungsten (W). The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.

Blade - modified, aggressive Tanto with Recurve (wave-shaped) cutting edge used in tactical, survival knives. On the full length on both sides of the blade blood-draining slot grain grooves for lightweight construction. The small thickness of the blade, combined with the high, flat grind (Flat Grind), results in excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, which can be opened with a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper forms a mini-guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. On the back of the blade a small recess in which we can place our thumb for more precise work. The whole is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.

Handle - 6AL4V titanium grips, to which textured G10 inlays are attached. The chamfered edges of the liners eliminate sharp edges, and the fore finger groove made on the front improves grip security. The grips are screwed to an intricately machined titanium backspacer, giving assurance of many years of use. The pivot is decorated with a stylized WE Knife brand logo. The right-hand titanium and additional left-hand deep carry clip allow you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up (blade tip up) position. The left titanium deep carry clip comes with screws. Above the clip a lanyard hole, a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.

Case - the knife is packed in a zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
