Greg Medford's idea was to create the most reliable knives imaginable while retaining their beauty and adding the “soul” of a handmade finish.

CPM S45VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best blade steels. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. 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. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. The improved strength of CPM S45VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.

The blade of this Slim Midi version has been machine-finished using the “tumbled” method, hand-laid concave grinds give excellent cutting properties combined with high strength. The striking embossing increases the strength, using them to open the knife. For increased insensitivity to contamination, phosphor bronze washers are used, making the pivot axis more resistant to field work. A powerful titanium frame lock bar secures the knife from folding, unfolded and secured the knife is as solid as an armored cash register.

Handle made of titanium, at the back of the handle there is a hole for interweaving a safety or decorative cord. The whole is completed by a massive clip, brushed and flame-dyed with a “Tsunami” pattern.

The knife is supplied in a waterproofand dustproof - IP67 and shockproof (MIL-STD-810F) technical case from the American S3 Case Company, made of high-impact S433 resin - one of the most durable materials available in the world.

Included - cardboard box, S3 Case technical case and signed “Certificate of Creation and Authenticity”.
