Blade: A simple, straight spine blade made from satin finished D2 tool steel is given a high hollow grind with a full length tapered swedge to deliver excellent slicing and piercing performance. A subtle choil offers easy sharpening and added control in the forward grip. Steel ball bearing pivot washers offer fast, smooth operation of the blade using the index flipper tab for deployment.

Handle: Blasted, matte gray stainless steel liners support hearty stonewashed brass handle scales with the liners riding proud to deliver a more contoured feel in the hand. Simple and neutral in design, the sweeping handles are comfortable and secure with solid ergonomics in multiple grip positions. The stainless steel liner lock is smooth, robust and reliable offering simple and intuitive operation with jimping for enhanced traction. An inline pin is provided for lanyard attachment at the pommel end.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up, stainless steel deep carry pocket clip.

D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. D2 has a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) which gives it greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels making it semi-stainless. D2 offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance for a good all around knife steel.
