CPM MagnaCut - Powdered stainless steel produced using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened between 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more "conventional" steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM MagnaCut succeeded in creating a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This unique steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' American steel mills.

Blade - a wide Drop Point blade with an elegant satin finish. Despite its thickness, the full flat grind provides excellent cutting properties combined with superb durability. The low descending guard protects fingers from slipping on the blade while working. Upper jimping long textured thumb rest, as well as finger choil (deep textured finger notch) make it easier to maintain control of the knife while working.

Handle - ergonomically profiled with finger notches. 3D machined Dark Matter Carbon Fiber composite scales (carbon fiber compressed under pressure with synthetic resin) attached directly to the blank. This is the simplest and most secure design that ensures the practical indestructibility of the knife. The advantage of Carbon Fiber is its insensitivity to weather conditions, resistance to chemicals and mechanical damage, as well as low weight. On the back of the Handle a lanyard hole, a hole for a belaying or decorative rope.

Sheath - extended, protecting the Blade together with the Handle. Made of kydex. Attaching to the belt or to the armor allows you to carry the knife vertically or horizontally.
