WE Knives 819A Drakon Bronze Titanium Integral Flipper Stonewashed M390

The model 819A Drakon from WE Knife Company is a fantastic Integral titanium frame lock design with stunning visual appeal. As the name suggests this knife has dragon scale milling on the handles for style as well as well as traction. High performance materials like Bohler's M390 blade steel and 6AL4V Titanium complement the visually striking design that still delivers ergonomic comfort and performance for use. This version comes with bronze anodized handle and stonewashed blade.

Blade: The Stonewashed Bohler M390 blade rides on a ceramic ball bearing pivot for ultra smooth, fast deployment via the blade hole or integral flipper tab. The blade is slim with a full length clip running from the thumb ramp above the blade hole down to the razor sharp, compound ground tip. This blade is durable for serious use while being fast and maneuverable for finer work with a full size index finger choil for added control. Fullers that run down either side of the blade add a touch of style to this highly utilitarian blade.

Handle: The Integral handle design has clean lines that highlight the eye-catching dragon scale milling while facilitating multiple grip positions. The spine of the handle is smooth, integral titanium adds durability, is comfortable in the hand and enhances the aesthetic appeal. The integral frame lock construction is outfitted with a hardened steel lock face insert for smooth, reliable operation on this deceptively simple folder. A bronze anodized finish rounds out this stylish piece.

Carries via a 3D machined, titanium pocket clip set up for tip up, right hand carry.

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.
