Damascus SSCT - (Super Stainless Compact Twist) stainless steel with a unique pattern. A blade consisting of two different types of steel, forged and assembled together in different ways to create this amazing pattern. It is characterized by high hardness in the range of 58-60 HRC.

Drop Point type blade with clearly marked belly emphasizes unique damascus pattern. Small thickness of blade combined with high, flat grind gives us cutting properties almost on the level of a razor. Double sided Thumb Stud makes it easy to open the blade with one hand for both right and left handed people. Fluted support: thumb ramp on spine jimping and finger choil, undercut for index finger make it easier to control the knife.

Handle - made of Carbon Fiber (carbon fiber compressed under pressure with synthetic resin). Screwed to the backspacer made of the same damast as the blade, which means practically indestructible construction. Curved shape of facings and backspacer eliminates any sharp edges. The use of CNC machine tools in the production process of the cover guarantees high quality of the manufactured elements.

Pouch - made of high quality leather, makes it easier for us to carry the knife every day
