3Cr13MoV - Martensitic tool stainless steel, 13.0% chromium (Cr) content with excellent hardness and strength By adding 1.0% manganese (Mn), 0.6% nickel (Ni) and 1.0% silicon (Si) to 3Cr13, an improvement in strength and hardness in the 52 - 55 HRC range was achieved. Easy to sharpen, widely used in the manufacture of knives, scissors and medical equipment

Blade - extremely sharp Clip Point type of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. In the upper part of the wedge "false blade". Plain blade is brought out with a Flat Grind, finished with an elegant Mirror method. The double-sided hilt protects the hand from slipping on the blade. A solid kicker, when the knife is folded, prevents the blade from coming into contact with the inside of the handle and damaging the cutting edge.

Handle - openwork arms made of black Zamak. Holes on the handle provide a comfortable, secure grip for easy performance of advanced tricks. The blade is locked by joining the arms with Latchem, a small pivot on the back of the handle, which allows the handle arms to be locked in both the open and closed positions
