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 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 - Wharncliffe type finished with a scratch-masking bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles and then coated in black. The small thickness of the blade combined with a high flat grind (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 when opened acting as a stag. The entire blade is locked with a modern button lock, unusually located on the right side, under the index finger. Under the lock button is a spring, providing enough resistance to avoid accidental opening.

Handle - is a thick piece of titanium 6AL4V, the contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. On both sides there is an inlay (insert) made of G10 composite. Only a few companies are able to make the Handle with such incredible accuracy! The grips are connected to each other using a titanium backspacer integrated into the finger ring (Back Ring). It prevents accidental release of the knife from the hand and also makes it easier to rotate the folder around the finger, allowing traditional techniques to be performed. The clip is also integrated into the backspacer, and its unusual placement, on top of the knife rather than on the side as usual, draws attention. A surprisingly convenient solution, allowing you to carry the knife on both the left and right side without using additional holes and rearranging the clip. As in other models, the pivot axis is decorated with a stylized logo of the manufacturer.

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