14C28N – Practical Stainless Steel
14C28N effectively combines corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and excellent cutting performance. It is a suitable material for an EDC folder that is meant to be easy to maintain and used regularly.
Trailing Point – a smooth cutting line
The Trailing Point profile provides a long, gently curved edge and a precise tip. The flat grind gives the blade a versatile geometry and performs well in tasks requiring smooth blade guidance.
Gray PVD Coating
The blade is coated with a gray PVD coating, which creates an additional protective layer and reduces surface reflectivity. The color complements the olive-green G10 handle well.
Olive Green G10 Handle
The handle is made of Olive Green G10. The material offers good durability and a distinct texture, while the Index Divots and jimping further enhance the knife’s stable handling.
G10 Backspacer
The handle construction is completed by a backspacer made of olive-green G10. The grooved surface increases contact with the hand and complements the ergonomic features incorporated into the design.
Kizer Clutch Lock™ and Thumb Stud
The Kizer Clutch Lock™ allows you to comfortably release the blade without your fingers coming into contact with its path. The Thumb Stud ensures quick opening, while ball bearings ensure smooth pivot operation.
