Key Features
High-Performance Nitro-V Steel: Upgraded with nitrogen and vanadium, this blade offers exceptional edge retention, intense toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance—making it ideal for humid or demanding environments.
Aggressive Reverse Tanto Blade: The 2.94-inch hollow-ground blade provides a razor-sharp, precise cutting edge combined with a robust tip structure optimized for piercing and heavy utility slices.
Tactile Green Canvas Micarta Handle: The rugged, contoured Micarta scales provide a secure, slip-resistant grip that feels natural in the hand, even when wet. Over time, the material will wear uniquely, developing its own custom patina.
Lightning-Fast Ceramic Bearing Action: Equipped with caged ceramic ball bearings, the blade snaps open smoothly and effortlessly via the index flipper or the integrated dual nail nick.
Discreet Deep-Carry Clip: The reversible stainless steel pocket clip allows for comfortable, ultra-low-profile tip-up carry for both right and left-handed users.
