Brand new directly from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: Equipped with a sub-2 inch blade of CTS-XHP this Tanto Exocet has a single, razor sharp plain cutting edge. The blade provides high-end edge retention and solid corrosion resistance with a rugged Stonewashed finish that hides wear from use. A large cutout in the blade helps reduce the overall weight while the piercing Tanto offers excellent utility especially when cutting on flat surfaces. Featuring a double action automatic mechanism operation is fast, smooth and reliable. Move the thumb slide up to deploy and down to retract. An internal spring remains at rest in both the open and closed position to reduce wear.

Handle: A gray hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle has rounded edges with strategically placed milling creating a comfortable, secure grip and a smooth transition in and out of your pocket. An extra wide "money" pocket clip makes this a prime choice for gentleman's carry. Construction is completed with Microtech's proprietary hardware, looped hole end knocker and clip with individual serial number/date of production.

Carries via a right hand, tip-down, stainless steel deep carry clip.

CTS-XHP: An ultra-high-carbon 'stainless' steel that was developed to combine the corrosion resistance of 440C and wear resistance of D2. With good wear resistance and the ability to attain a high hardness, CTS XHP has edge retention somewhere between S30V and ZDP 189. An excellent choice for any knife that is going to see a lot of use.
