CPM S35VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best blade steels. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. Manufactured 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. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. Replacing some of the niobium carbides with vanadium carbides makes the steel about 15-20% harder than S30V without sacrificing wear resistance, and it is also easier to machine and polish. The improved strength of CPM S35VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.

Blade - 3.1mm thick with Leaf Shaped profile (leaf shape) provides excellent cutting edge geometry with low friction. The small thickness of the blade combined with a high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Careful placement on the Blade of an enlarged 14mm circular SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) positions the hand in just the right place for intuitive opening of the Blade and at the same time increases the spine jimping thumb support hump.

Handle - textured bi-directional non-slip grips (Bi-Directional Texturing) strengthen the grip. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon plastic. Solid metal screw-on hourglass clip with 4-way (up/down, right/left) 4-way clip positions. In the back of the Handle a lanyard hole, a hole for pulling a safety cable.
