CPM 20CV - one of the finest tool steels, US 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 - drop point type, finished impressively masking scratches using the Stonewashed method and then coated with a black coating. Strongly outlined 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 ensure an extremely smooth opening of the blade with the flipper flipper so it can be used easily by right and left-handed people. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel liner to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - made of titanium 6AL4V anodized in black color. Chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges. The sides were screwed to a solid titanium backspacer, giving assurance of many years of use. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized WE Knife brand logo. A single-position (right) titanium deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up (blade tip up) position. On the back of the handle lanyard hole, hidden in the backspacer, a place for a decorative or security cord.
Case - included zippered soft nylon case with manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
