Blade: Durable, corrosion resistant Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel is finished with a non-reflective Black TiNi coating for discreet use. A clip point swedge and high hollow grind offer powerful piercing and slicing performance while retaining good toughness at the spine. Aggressive jimping insures a safe and secure grip during heavy use. Powered by a coil spring mechanism the blade deploys with lightening speed automatically at a touch of the button.

Handle: Lightweight and durable, the black hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles have been contoured for comfort and have milling and finger grooves for a secure grip. A simple yet robust button lock mechanism delivers secure lockup with a slide safety on the opposite side to avoid unintentional deployment while carrying yet allowing for fast deployment when needed.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up only, stainless steel deep carry pocket clip.

Japanese AUS-8 Stainless Steel: a low carbon, high chromium stainless steel offers excellent balance of performance: it has good toughness, corrosion resistance and sharpening response with similar edge retention to 440C.
