Blade: A classic Emerson chisel ground Tanto blade features a super sharp plain cutting edge and Emerson Knives logo. Equipped with a two-tone finish, the front of the blade is finished with a fine satin on the flats and black DLC on the grinds with the back of the blade fully DLC coated. It has all the look and feel of the classic Emerson with a finish you'll definitely appreciate. American Made 154CM stainless steel offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and easy field sharpening. The jimped thumb ramp adds traction and provides good indexing. The blade deploys in a flash with a simple press of the button located just below the pivot screw on the show side of the handle. That button also locks the blade in place when in use. To close, simply press in the button again and fold the blade back into the handle.

Handle: Smooth, classy Carbon Fiber forms the front scale. Super tough, Class III, military grade, black hard anodized aluminum on the back is milled with an integral partial back spacer to complete the handle. Protech added notching on the spine to extend the thumb ramp off the blade for more controlled cutting. Construction is rounded out with a lanyard hole and satin finished hardware.

Carries via an Emerson-style, right hand tip-up, long pocket clip.

154CM: Crucible 154CM is an improved version of 440C with added molybdenum offering improved corrosion resistance and edge retention, as well as a higher level wear resistance.
