CPM MagnaCut – Steel for Modern EDC
CPM MagnaCut offers high corrosion resistance, very good impact resistance, and good edge retention. In an everyday folding knife, it provides functionality suitable for both light tasks and more regular use, without the compromises typical of many classic stainless steels.
Clip Point and Hollow Grind
The Clip Point profile ensures a controlled tip and good precision when scoring. The Hollow grind promotes a smooth cut and allows for optimal edge geometry while maintaining a rigid upper blade section.
Satin – a clean, classic finish
The satin-finished blade surface emphasizes the model’s clean lines and complements the light gray handle well. The Satin finish gives the blade an elegant, technical look without a dark coating, making this variant the most stylistically neutral in the entire series.
Light Gray Aluminum
The handle is made of aluminum in Light Gray. The light-colored surface emphasizes the geometric simplicity of the design and pairs well with the satin-finished blade and titanium clip. The construction remains rigid, lightweight, and designed for comfortable everyday carry.
Button Liner Lock – the signature mechanism of the Astur ZeroS
A semicircular button controls the Button Liner Lock, simplifying the release of the blade when you’re done using the knife. This solution is functional while also fitting seamlessly into the design’s minimalist aesthetic.
Manual Thumb Stud and Titanium Clip
The blade opens manually using the Thumb Stud, and ball bearings ensure smooth movement. The right-handed, tip-up titanium clip allows for comfortable carrying of the knife as part of your daily EDC.
