CTS BD1N - American martensitic stainless steel with high carbon, chromium and nitrogen content. Designed and manufactured in the USA by Carpenter Technology Corporation as an improvement of CTS-BD1 steel, but with a higher working hardness up to 63 HRC. Noticeable differences are the lack of vanadium and the 0.10%-0.15% nitrogen content, which produces nearly 4 times as many atoms as vanadium. CTS-BD1N has more chromium, manganese and silicon in its composition for better performance. It performs well as a knife steel with high corrosion resistance. It provides better strength and noteworthy edge holding ability, as well as a fine-grained structure.
Ball Bearing-Lock - one of the strongest blade locking mechanism. Hardened ball bearing housed in a black polymer basket in the open position pressed against the blade by a spring. Made in USA.
Blade - Leaf-Shaped and 3.2 mm thick. Eliminating glare, Satin Finish (semi matte) coating. Plain blade is Full Flat Grind for excellent cutting edge geometry with sharp tip and reduced weight. The enlarged 14 mm SpyderHole round notch makes it possible to open the knife also with a glove. The notched thumb rest and Finger Choil between the handle and the cutting edge enhance the control of the knife.
Handle - blue color. Made of light translucent FRCP (Fiberglass Reinforced Co-Polymer), has a bi-directional non-slip texture (Bi-Directional Texturing), which ensures grip in all conditions (also with greasy, wet hands). Screw-on wire clip (left/right) lets you carry the knife in tip-up position. The notch on the back of the Spine Jimping handle makes it easier to grip. In the back of the handle lanyard hole, an enlarged cord hole.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
