CPM S20CV - 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 - Clip Point type, impressively finished with Two Tone method, bevels finished with black Stonewash, the rest satin finish. The gently curved cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, results in excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. To improve piercing capabilities, an unsharpened false blade is brought out at the top. Ceramic ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a quick index-finger flipper (flipper) when opened acting as a stag. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert to prevent wiping of the lock face.

Handle - made of solid titanium 6AL4V anodized black with gold accents. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. The grips are connected to each other with a flame-dyed titanium integral backspacer. Showing off the EC engineers is an inlay made of Twill Carbon Fiber into which another inlay is inserted, this time of flame-dyed titanium. A single-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. The pivot is decorated with a stylized manufacturer's logo.

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