Damascus - Damascus stainless steel blade with a unique design. The blade consisting of two different types of steel, forged and put together in different ways obtaining this amazing pattern. It is characterized by high hardness in the range of 58-60 HRC.

Blade - Tanto type, etched in acid to bring out damascus patterns. The geometric belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings assist in opening the blade with the flipper fin. A section of the blade's back is covered with an upper jimping, notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole is locked with the proven and popular liner lock.

Handle - grips made of G10 composite laminated on the surface with a layer of Carbon Fiber, practically indestructible plastic insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. Chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges and characteristic vertical surface grooves improve grip security. The open-backed design, fixed with steel spacer sleeves, reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. The single-position (right) clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upward. Above the clip a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.
