Blade: A useful drop point means slicing and cutting power for an infinite amount of tasks. Piercing is reinforced with an upper swedge grind they're calling a "Mohawk spine". In addition to the strength, the swedge provides more control during operation as the thumb presses up against it keeping the rest smooth. Dual thumb studs mean ambidextrous deployment while the AXIS Assist mechanism provides the horsepower. Simply begin the process of pushing out the blade and watch it go. In a rescue situation, time is everything and the quicker the better. This one has a clean, satin/tumble finished S30V premium stainless steel for good edge holding, corrosion resistance and relative ease of sharpening.

Handle: Premium 6061-T6 milled aluminum provides strength and reduces the carry weight while it's at it. There is a black hard-coat anodize to protect it and a palm swell with grip grooves on both sides. It's filling and won't slip in any grip with outstanding finger contours. A carbide tipped glass breaker accents the very butt end to add that rescue extra so many count on every day. The safety enhanced AXIS lock delivers reliable performance and ambidextrous operation.

Carries via a tip-up, reversible deep carry pocket clip.

CPM-S30V: A powdered stainless steel with high levels of edge retention and corrosion resistance S30V was developed specifically for use in knife blades. The powdered process gives it a very refined grain, improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
