Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic Treatment
Sandvik 14C28N steel has been hardened to 60–62 HRC. Vacuum hardening combined with cryogenic treatment promotes high hardness, wear resistance, and stable blade performance.
Sheepsfoot, flat grind, and Blackwashed
The Sheepsfoot profile performs well in controlled utility work, and the flat grind ensures versatile cutting geometry. The blackwashed finish gives the blade a dark appearance and minimizes the visibility of minor signs of wear.
Green G10, Crossbar Lock, and Black PVD Hardware
The handle is made of green G10 and paired with Black PVD Hardware. Black stainless steel spacer rings maintain a consistent aesthetic with the dark blade.
The pivot uses phosphor bronze washers, while the Crossbar Lock stabilizes the blade in the open position. The steel clip can be mounted on either side of the handle in a tip-up configuration.
