Brand new, direct from Buck Knives.

Blade: The drop point S45VN stainless steel blade has a BOS heat treat and delivers well-balanced performance with a slicing full flat grind. Durable black Cerakote coating offers enhanced corrosion resistance and is discreetly non-reflective in use. Ambidextrous flipper deployment is fast, smooth and decisive thanks to a ball bearing pivot while spine jimping provides traction for added control.

Handle: The handle is clean, simple, and modern in style, offering a solid ergonomic grip thanks with chamfered edges and secure traction from the G10 scale. The flipper doubles as an index guard, while the sweep of the handle creates a point that holds the fingers securely without the need for grooves or jimping. Barrel spacers form a light and low maintenance open construction with the front scale and frame. Supported by a lock bar stabilizer/over travel stop the integral steel frame lock offers reliability and secure lockup. 

Carries via a right-hand stainless steel deep carry clip.

CPM-S45VN: An evolution in Crucible’s S30-series, S45VN shows improved edge retention and corrosion resistance relative to S35VN and offers an upgrade to Elmax with better hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, and sharpness with similar edge retention.
