Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic Treatment
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N steel, hardened to 60–62 HRC. Vacuum hardening combined with cryogenic treatment was used, which promotes high hardness, wear resistance, and stable steel properties during regular use.
Wharncliffe, flat grind, and Satin
The Wharncliffe profile provides a long, straight cutting edge and good control during precision work. The flat grind ensures smooth glide through the material, while the satin finish gives the blade a classic, understated look.
Grey Titanium, Frame Lock, and Ceramic Ball Bearings
The handle is made of titanium with a grey, sandblasted finish. The design is complemented by grey stainless steel spacers and a titanium clip.
Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth blade operation, while the Frame Lock stabilizes the blade when fully open. The clip can be mounted on the right or left side in a tip-up configuration.
