Serge Knife Co. Production Bean Titanium Top Flipper Stonewashed M390

Serge Knife Co. brings us the newest iteration of production Bean folder designed by custom maker Serge Panchenko. The Bean is a compact slip joint with detent ball operation that makes for smooth, one-hand operation. The pill shaped design of the handle is maintained even when the blade is closed making for a very compact package for carry. This version comes with a stonewashed finish Bohler M390 blade with matching stonewashed titanium handles.

Brand new, direct from Serge Knife Co.

Blade: The modified Sheepsfoot blade is made from high performance, Bohler M390 stainless steel, delivering optimal performance for every day tasks with minimal maintenance. The mid-height saber grind delivers durability making this a highly utilitarian design. The top flipper tab and slip joint operation facilitates smooth, one-hand deployment in an urban-friendly design.

Handle: The heavily stonewashed titanium slabs and single barrel spacer form the simple, robust frame of the Bean. Front and back scales have milled edges for comfort with the Serge Knife Co logo milled on the front. The reverse has a sprung detent bar that delivers the slip joint operation.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up titanium pocket clip.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
