Bestech Tonic Black Titanium/Carbon Fiber, Black Stonewashed M390 by Colin Maisonpierre Knife (BT2204E)

Tonic Black Titanium / Carbon Fiber, Black Stonewashed, a strong EDC folding knife designed by Colin Maisonpierre, owner of CM KnifeDesigns. It is one of the few in the world to combine a Back Lock with a ball bearing based pivot mechanism. Handle made of titanium and carbon fiber, the blade made of the finest M390 tool steel. An excellent tool for everyday carry!

M390 - martensitic high-performance chromium steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - Reverse Tanto type, with a scratch-masking Stonewashed finish followed by a black coating. The gentle curve of the cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a dual thumb stud in the wedge on both sides. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular back lock.

Handle - grips made of Carbon Fiber, a virtually indestructible plastic that is insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage, and titanium bolsters. The titanium backspacer to which the grips are attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. A two-position (right/left) clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upwards.

Case - the knife is packed in a zippered nylon soft pouch with the brand's logo for safe carrying and storage of the folder.
