Brand new, direct from Chuck Gedraitis Knives, USA.

Blade: Riding smooth on bronze washers and bushings the sweeping clip point Bowie blade deploys with ease. Equipped with a two-tone satin finish, the CTS-XHP blade has a stylish and aggressive look with a slicing deep hollow grind and a long spine swedge. The tang is marked by the maker.

Handle: Orange peel textured titanium support comfortably contoured and visually appealing carbon fiber scales for a handle that is lightweight with good cycling action. The handles are joined by black and gray G10 spacers and secured in open and closed positions by a zinc latch with titanium pin. Satin hardware rounds out the construction. Includes padded Ace Case zippered pouch for storage.

CTS-XHP: An ultra-high-carbon steel that was developed to combine the corrosion resistance of 440C and hardness of D2. It offers good hardness with toughness-edge retention balance, both being better than S35VN with easier sharpening. Corrosion resistance is closer to 3V than 440C, making it more of a semi-stainless.
