Blade: Made from black hand rubbed Damascus the stainless steel blade comes in a flat ground drop point that is streamlined and utilitarian while delivering a striking look with plenty of visual appeal. A nearly full length swedge enhances piercing performance while the caged ceramic ball bearing makes for smooth operation and fast deployment via the extended front flipper tab or dual thumb studs. The front flipper is equipped with jimping for secure purchase and traction on the spine when open.

Handle: Skeletonized gray stainless steel liners support brown Micarta scales milled with a faux bolster line for classic look. The scales are flat for slim carry with plenty of texture for traction and chamfered edges for a comfortable grip. Simple and sleek, the handles offer multiple grips and make for a fast draw. One liner is cut with a simple and effective liner lock mechanism delivering safe use. Construction is completed with Torx hardware and a partial back spacer with inline lanyard pin.

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

Chinese Damascus: Damascus offers the performance of a modern steel while delivering a unique look from the pattern welded layers and acid etched finish. Often available in multiple patterns, Damascus gives a knife a striking and singular look. The core of this blade is 9Cr18MoV stainless steel hardened to around 60 HRC for solid cutting performance.
