CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels in the world, American premium martensitic stainless steel. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Designed to provide better 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, 20.0% chromium, 4.0% vanadium, 1.0% molybdenum and 0.6% tungsten. The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.

Blade - Modified Sheepsfoot type finished with a scratch-masking Silver Bead Blasted finish. It opens with a flipper, so it can be easily used by right and left-handed people. Ceramic ball bearings are responsible for the smooth operation of the opening mechanism. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind (Flat Grind), gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. On the back you will find a perfectly made "jimping", notches on which you can put your finger improving your grip and control of the knife during use. The whole thing is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert that prevents wiping of the lock face.

The handle - thick pieces of titanium 6AL4V connected to each other with a titanium backspacer. The simplicity and robustness of the design give confidence in many years of use. The two-position clip (right/left), made of titanium, allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. The backspacer has a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord. As in other models, the pivot axis is decorated with a stylized manufacturer's logo.

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