AUS-10 - Japanese stainless steel, often compared to 440C series steel and for good reason, because the compositions are similar, but these slight differences make AUS-10 harder (usually hardened to around 60 HRC) and dulls more slowly, without losing its resistance to rust. Knives made of this steel are relatively cheap and will be a great choice if your budget is not too high and you want the knife to be rust-proof.

Blade - Drop Point type, finished with a Beadblasted method to mask small scratches caused during use. The gently curved cutting edge converges towards the tip of the blade. The thickness of the blade in combination with the high, flat grinding results in an excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure a smooth and easy-running mechanism and support the opening of the blade with a flipper that forms a mini guard after opening to prevent the hand from slipping onto the blade. The knife can also be opened using the hole in the blade. Upper jimping on the back of the blade, a ribbed thumb rest. Liner lock mechanism.

Handle - grips made of G10 composite, a material with high mechanical strength and almost complete resistance to weather conditions and chemicals, textured for better grip, screwed to the steel frame of the knife. The whole thing is screwed to a solid backspacer, also made of G10. The simple, solid construction ensures many years of use. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized manufacturer's logo. The two-position (right/left) metal deep carry clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket in a tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up).
