Blade: CPM S35VN delivers a highly corrosion-resistant and durable blade that has very good edge retention. The saber grind delivers good strength while the long top swedge provides a fine point for piercing and detail work. The Diamond-Like Carbon or DLC finish hides wear from use, offers enhanced corrosion resistance and is discreet for use. The blade deploys via the robust, button operated coil spring which delivers fast deployment when the seconds count. A slide safety offers added safety when carrying.

Handle: 6061-T6 aluminum makes the Tactical Response both tough and lightweight with a Barbed wire and Brick graphic for striking visual appeal and Bruce Shaw designed Sterling Skull inlay on the handle for a truly custom feel. Milled finger grooves provide a comfortable and secure grip in the hand with subtle jimping for indexing. A hardened 410 steel back spacer contains a generous lanyard hole and protrudes from the pommel end of the handle for use as an impact tool. The robust button lock provides intuitive operation and secure lockup with a slide safety backup that offers secure carry and use. With only 300 pieces made this is a truly collectible limited edition piece.

Carries via black DLC coated, stainless steel deep carry pocket clip. Right hand, tip-up only.

CPM S35VN: was designed to offer improved toughness over CPM S30V. It is also easier to machine and polish than CPM S30V. The inclusion of Niobium allows for the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides. Substituting some niobium carbides for vanadium carbides makes CPM S35VN about 15-20% tougher than CPM S30V without any loss of wear resistance. CPM S35VN’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping.
