Brand new item direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The Hawk sports a claw-like 3.95-inch blade of high performance steel with killer good looks. Grind, upper swedge and spine supply the attitude while the flats feature weight-reducing cutouts with a futuristic vibe. The point-tapering grind offers an excellent combination of range and cutting performance while the tip point offers powerful piercing capabilities while retaining a high level of toughness. The blade opens lightning quick via the large, high traction button actuator. Marked as "Proof Run" with unique serialization on front side of blade.

Handle: Constructed of durable aluminum handles that are both light weight and tough, finished in a black hard anodization for a discreet look. A finger choil and arched back deliver security in the hand in any position along with a jimped thumb ramp and jimping along both the top and bottom of the tapered pommel end. The same button that deploys the blade also disengages the rock solid plunge lock that delivers security in use. The Hawk is completed with Torx Hardware, right hand tip-up pocket clip and hardened steel glass breaker insert.

CTS-204P: A highly wear resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel, the steel contains a large volume of extremely hard vanadium carbides which provide excellent wear resistance. CTS-204P has some of the highest chromium content of a high-vanadium stainless steel currently available. The chromium-rich matrix provides outstanding corrosion resistance. Analogs to CTS-204P include CPM-20CV and Bohler M390.
