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 improved 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 1.9% 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 - drop point type, finished by hand with an elegant Satin method. The elongated belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a quick index-finger flipper (flipper) when opened acting as a stag. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert to prevent wiping of the lock face.

Handle - made of titanium 6AL4V, artful Carbon inlays with aluminum threading contrast beautifully with titanium. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. The facings are joined together with a titanium backspacer. The textured surface improves grip confidence. The simplicity and robustness of the design give confidence in many years of use. The single-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. At the top of the backspacer there is a place to thread a safety or decorative cord. As in other models, the pivot axis is decorated with a stylized manufacturer's logo. The clip, backspacer and decorative finish of the pivot screw are made of flame-dyed 6AL4V titanium.

Case - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
