CPM MagnaCut - Powdered stainless steel produced by the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened between 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more “conventional” steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM MagnaCut succeeded in creating a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This unique steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' American steel mills.

Blade - a wide Drop Point blade with a fine scratch-masking Stonewashed finish, then coated with a black coating. Despite its thickness, the full flat grind provides excellent cutting qualities combined with superb durability. A low descending guard prevents fingers from slipping on the blade while working. Upper jimping long textured thumb rest, as well as finger choil (deep textured finger cutout) make it easier to maintain control of the knife while working.

ULTEM™ - a plastic belonging to the Polyethermoids family or simply PEI. This material is primarily characterized by high mechanical and impact strength with a very high strength-to-weight ratio. It is also characterized by high thermal resistance (180⁰C) and high chemical resistance to all kinds of solvents (synthetic and natural), lubricants or other chemicals. Adding to this total insensitivity to weather conditions, we get an ideal material for knife handles.

Handle - ergonomically profiled with finger indentations. 3D machined ULTEM™ composite grips attached directly to the blank. This is the simplest and most secure design that ensures the practical indestructibility of the knife. ULTEM™ has the advantage of being insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. On the back of the Handle lanyard hole, a hole for a belaying or decorative cord.

Sheath - extended, protecting the Blade together with the Handle. Made of kydex. Attaching to the belt or to the armor allows you to carry the knife vertically or horizontally.
