Tenacious R.I.L. Blue Titanium, Satin, one of the most popular EDC folders from the Value collection, this time equipped with a handle made of titanium. This excellent tool has gained a new dimension, becoming an excellent working knife that is up to any task! And all this while maintaining excellent value for money!

8Cr13MoV - an easy-to-sharpen stainless knife steel, equivalent to Japanese AUS-8 steel. A high content of 13.0% chromium (Cr) and an average of 0 .8% carbon (C) provide excellent corrosion resistance, while the addition of the alloying elements molybdenum 0.30% (Mo), vanadium 0 .25% (V) and nickel 0.20% (Ni) increase the steel's strength and wear resistance. 8Cr13MoV has a high hardness in the 57-62 HRC range.

Blade - with the company's Leaf-Shaped profile (leaf shape), finished in an elegant Satin method . Plain (smooth) blade was derived with Full Flat Grind. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) makes it easy to open the folder with cold or wet hands. The notched section of the Blade's back, ramp (spine jimping) gives solid support for the thumb which makes it easier to operate the knife. The entire blade is locked with the proven R.I.L. (Reeve Integral Lock).

Handle - thick pieces of titanium, beveled edges of the sheaths eliminate sharp edges. Open-backed design, so called open-backed fixed with steel spacer sleeves, reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. Metal clip with four-way (up/down, right/left) 4-way clip positions. A hole (lanyard hole) in the back of the Handle for attaching a safety line.
