Todd Knife and Tool - a family business founded by brothers Todd, Seth and Teryl also known as YouTuber Zelrick42. TKT specializes in designing and building prototypes that can be put into production. Their knives are designed to perform specific tasks, maintain exceptional ergonomics and be easy to carry on a daily basis, they also have a distinctive design language that sets them apart from the designs of other makers.

CPM S35VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best steels for blades. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. Manufactured 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. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. Replacing some of the niobium carbides with vanadium carbides makes the steel about 15-20% harder than S30V without sacrificing wear resistance, and it is also easier to machine and polish. The improved strength of CPM S35VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) the durability of the blade's surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating that exhibits the unique properties of natural diamonds, such as exceptional hardness and low friction, also corrosion resistance. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.

Blade - wide, Reverse Tanto type coated with black DLC coating. The gentle curve of the cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high concave grind (hollow grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper). We can also open the knife using a hole in the wedge (thumb hole). The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.

Handle - presentation side made of Marble Carbon Fiber composite, lock side made of solid 6AL4V titanium. Chamfered cover edges eliminate sharp edges for comfort and improve grip security. The solid titanium backspacer to which the grips are attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. The pivot axis decorated with the logo of the designers, Todd Knife and Tool. A single-position, right-handed titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upward.

Case - the knife is packaged in a zippered nylon soft pouch with the brand's logo for safe carrying and storage of the folder.
