AUS-8 - molybdenum-vanadium Japanese stainless steel. Often called the equivalent of 440 steel. Both steels have a similar composition, but AUS8 is harder (hardened to 59 HRC) so that it dulls more slowly, without losing its excellent resistance to harsh weather conditions (moisture, water work). Rich in 0.75% carbon (C), 0.25% vanadium (V) and 0.30% molybdenum (Mo), containing min. 13% chromium (Cr). Due to its high hardness, it is suitable for manufacturing cutting tools, knife blades and medical instruments. It is characterized by an excellent balance of strength and corrosion resistance and an excellent value for money. Made in Aichi Steel's Japanese steel mills.
Blade - drop point type finished with a scratch-masking Stonewashed finish. The generous belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife in combination with the high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting properties. The blade is set on Teflon washers that support the opening mechanism, allowing you to efficiently unfold the folder with the push of a button. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. The whole is locked with a proven button lock.
Handle - beveled facings made of black aluminum. The surface of the coverings has been matted for a roughening effect to improve grip. The facings were attached to a blue-dyed backspacer, thanks to which the rigidity and solidity of the whole structure was achieved. The backspacer has a lanyard hole, which is a hole for a safety or decorative cord. In the area of the pivot and the opening button of the knife a blue accent referring in color to the color of the backspacer. A single-position right-side metal clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in the tip-up position (blade tip up).
