M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, vacuum and cryogenic treatment and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - Spear Point type with clearly marked belly highlights elegant Satin finish. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearing system a ids in the smooth and quick opening of the blade, which can be opened with a Thumb Plate on the back of the blade or with a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper forms a mini-Guard to prevent your hand from slipping on the blade. The whole thing is locked with the proven liner lock.

Handle - made of G-10, a virtually indestructible plastic, insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage, milled texture on the surface for improved grip confidence. The covers were screwed to a titanium backspacer, resulting in the practically indestructible nature of such a design. The right-side deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). At the end of the Handle lanyard hole, a hole for a rope.
