WE Knife Miscreant 3.0 Gray Titanium, Gray Stonewashed CPM 20CV by Brad Zinker (2101A)

The Miscreant 3.0 Gray Titanium, Gray Stonewashed was designed by the well-known American knifemaker Brad Zinker, a member of The Knifemakers Guild, who specializes in handmade custom knives. Brad is known for his knife designs with carefully finished "skeletonized" liners equipped with numerous holes. This makes the design very light, and the edges of the holes will also provide a good grip. Despite the angular design, the knife is extremely ergonomic to use and loved by users for its ultra-precise clean form.

Brad Zinker - after graduating from college with a degree in art photography, working in the industry, he stumbled into the world of handmade custom knives. His fascination with knives led him to start making his own knives. Combining classic and modern, he creates functional EDCs with clean lines, shapes and transitions.

CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels, American premium martensitic stainless steel. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Designed to provide improved wear resistance while maintaining corrosion resistance at the highest level. This super steel is comparable to Bohler's M390 steel or Carpenter's CTS-204P. According to some knife manufacturers, 20CV is the best of these three steels in terms of edge retention. It consists of 19.0% carbon (C), 20.0% chromium (Cr), 4.0% vanadium (V), 1.0% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.6% tungsten (W). The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.

Blade - Drop point blade finished with a Gray Stonewashed finish that masks minor scratches. It opens with a quick flipper flipper. Ceramic ball bearings are responsible for the smooth and smooth operation of the opening mechanism. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives us cutting properties almost on the level of a razor. The whole thing is locked with a proven frame lock with a steel insert that prevents the lock face from rubbing off.

Handle - thick pieces of solid titanium in which several holes were made to reduce weight. For contrast, the holes were finished with satin finish. The facings have been screwed to the titanium backspacer. The simplicity and solidity of the design give assurance of many years of use. A deep-carry, single-position (right side) clip made of titanium allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. Above the clip is a lanyard hole, which is a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord. As in other models, the pivot axis is decorated with a stylized logo of the manufacturer.

Case - the knife is packed in a zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
