CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels, American premium martensitic stainless steel. 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. 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, polished and then coated with a gray coating. The gently curved cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength, a mixed grind is used in this knife, in the back part is a high concave grind for cutting and precision work, the so-called Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the front part, we have a high Flat Ground tip reinforcement grind. To improve piercing capabilities, an unsharpened false blade is brought out at the top. Ball bearing ceramic supports the opening of the blade with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper) when opened acting as a stag. We can also open the knife using a hole in the wedge (thumb hole). The whole thing is locked with a solid button lock. A spring is mounted under the lock button, providing sufficient resistance to avoid accidental opening.

Handle - made of polished titanium 6AL4V. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. Grips are connected to each other with a titanium integral backspacer. The surface texture improves grip confidence. The simplicity and robustness of the design give confidence for many years of use. The single-position (right) clip, also made of titanium, allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position.

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