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-grade corrosion-resistant steels.

Crossbar Lock - acrossbar that moves horizontally in longitudinal cutouts in the steel side plates of the handle frame. When the knife is opened, the locking bar overlaps the back of the blade from above, preventing its return movement. This beam is pressed down by two springs. Unlocking is done by pulling back the locking bar, the ends of which are accessible through cutouts in the grips on the sides of the Handle grips. In the closed position, the bar presses against the cam surface at the back of the Blade, preventing it from opening on its own. Advantages of the Crossbar Lock include resistance to contamination, practical insensitivity to dynamic loads, ease of operation with both right and left hands, and lightweight operation.

Blade - Drop Point with a clearly marked belly finished with a scratch-masking bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles and then coated with a gray coating. The small thickness of the blade combined with a high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic basket ball bearings support the smooth and smooth operation of the opening mechanism. The knife can be opened with a notch in the blade (Nail Nick). With this, the knife is considered to be opened with both hands, making it legal in many countries with restrictions on carrying knives. Crossbar Lock mechanism.

Handle - made of titanium 6AL4V heat-dyed with Tiger Stripe pattern, beveled edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges. The whole screwed to a solid backspacer, also made of titanium. The simplicity and sturdiness of the design give assurance of many years of use. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized WE brand logo. The double-sided (right/left) titanium deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up (blade up) position. The protruding portion of the backspacer includes a lanyard hole, a hole for a cord.

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