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.
Nested Liner Lock, a modification of the liner-lock by nesting the liner of the locking mechanism in the grip.
Blade - drop point type, finished with an impressive scratch-masking Silver Bead Blasted method. 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. Ball bearing ceramic ensures an extremely smooth opening of the blade with the flipper flipper so it can be easily used by right and left-handed people. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular nested liner lock.
Handle - grips made of Twill Carbon Fiber (carbon fiber compressed under pressure with synthetic resin) with a characteristic spiral pattern. Attached to steel liners. 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 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 a lanyard hole, hidden in the backspacer, a place for a decorative or safety line.
Case - included zippered soft nylon case with manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
