AUS-10 - Japanese stainless steel, often compared to 440C series steel and for good reason, because the compositions are similar, but these slight differences make AUS-10 harder (hardened usually around 60 HRC) and dulls more slowly, without losing its resistance to rust. Knives made of this steel are relatively cheap and will be a great choice if your budget is not too high and you want the knife to be rust-proof.

Blade - Clip Point type, finished with a Beadblasted method to mask small scratches caused during use. The long cutting edge with a prominent belly converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the wide blade. The thickness of the blade ensures high durability, while the high, flat grind gives the cutting edge perfect geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure that the flipper mechanism opens and closes the blade smoothly. The back of the blade has upper jimping, a ribbed thumb rest. Locking mechanism Liner Lock.

Handle - grips made of G10 composite, a virtually indestructible material, insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. Textured for a better grip, screwed to the steel frame of the knife. The open-backed design without a typical backspacer, attached to each other with steel spacers, facilitates cleaning. The simple, solid design ensures many years of use. Ergonomic finger grooves for a secure grip. Pivot decorated with a stylized manufacturer's logo. Two-position (right/left) steel deep carry clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket in a tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). Lanyard hole above the clip.
