WE Knife Button Lock Kitefin LE No ???/155 Blue/Gray Titanium, Hand Polished Satin CPM 20CV (WE19002M-3)

Button Lock Kitefin Rippled Blue/Gray Titanium, Hand Polished Satin LE. Limited to 155 pieces, this limited edition of the elegant EDC knife, numbered ??? is an example of a design philosophy where form follows function. A modernized version of the popular Kitefin model, this edition is enhanced with an intuitive Button Lock and better CPM 20CV blade steel. This remarkable knife will stand out among the rest! 

CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels, American premium martensitic stainless steel. Produced 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. 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 1.9% carbon (C), 20.0% chromium (Cr), 4.0% vanadium (V), 1.0% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.6% tungsten (W). The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.

Blade - drop point type, finished by hand with an elegant Satin method. The elongated 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. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high concave grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearing ceramic supports the opening of the blade with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper) when opened acting as a stag. To improve blade control, the back of the blade is covered with an upper jimping, notched thumb rest. The entire blade is locked with a solid button lock. A spring is mounted under the lock button, providing enough resistance to avoid accidental opening.

Handle - is a thick piece of 6AL4V titanium, with a beautifully CNC-milled pattern. In addition to aesthetic value, the pattern on the Handle prevents the hand from slipping on the surface. Only a few companies are able to make a Handle with such incredible accuracy! The grips are joined together using a titanium backspacer. The simplicity and solidity of the design give you the assurance of many years of use. The two-position clip (right/left), made of titanium, allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. The pivot axis decorated on one side with the manufacturer's logo, on the other with a flame-dyed titanium rim (pivot collar cap).

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