D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. With a high 13.0% chromium (Cr) content, it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.

Blade - Drop Point type finished masking fine scratches with a bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles. Ideal cutting edge along the entire length provides exceptional cutting performance with full force, transferring power to the blade stab, guarantees better point strength. The wide blade combined with a high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives extreme cutting performance combined with high strength. A notched section of the Blade's back, the spine jimping ramp positions the thumb, giving solid support for easy knife handling. The cutting edge starts with a small notch which makes sharpening superbly easy.

Handle - made of Canvas Micarta composite (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin), riveted directly to the blade, provides a virtually indestructible construction. The rounded shape of the covers eliminates sharp edges. The unique ergonomics of the Handle allows the knife to be held both ways, especially for users who appreciate an inverted grip. On the back of the Handle an enlarged lanyard hole, which is a hole for attaching a belaying line.

Sheath - when designing, great emphasis was placed on the ease of carrying and retrieving the knife. Flat, lightweight holster made of Kydex plastic.
