The knife operates on a simple back lock mechanism with tried and true reliability. Gerber adds a 'half-stop' detent that enhances safety while still delivering smooth operation.
Carries via a premium, American Made, black leather belt sheath.
CPM-S30V: A martensitic, powdered stainless steel with high levels of wear and corrosion resistance. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides. This gives it a very refined grain, further improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
