Durable CPM-S30V Blade – Precision and Strength

The blade is crafted from premium CPM-S30V steel, hardened to 58–60 HRC. This American powder steel is highly valued for its resistance to wear, corrosion, and its ability to maintain sharpness over time. Due to its hardness, sharpening is best done with a diamond sharpener, as standard ceramic stones may be less effective.

The Cerakote coating improves resistance to wear and moisture while reducing glare, which is useful in situations requiring discretion. The blade geometry ensures smooth cutting performance and a strong tip, making it suitable for demanding tasks.

Ergonomic Micarta Handle – Reliable Grip in Any Condition

The handle is made from milled canvas Micarta, offering excellent grip, even in wet or harsh environments. This material is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and heavy use.

Over time, Micarta develops a unique patina, enhancing both grip and appearance. The handle is supported by solid steel liners for added rigidity. Its ergonomic shape and subtle jimping provide confident handling, whether used with gloves or in difficult weather conditions.

AXIS Lock Mechanism – Safety and Ease of Use

The knife uses Benchmade’s well-known AXIS Lock system, recognized for its strength, reliability, and resistance to dirt. It allows smooth, ambidextrous operation.

A dual-sided thumb stud enables easy opening for both right- and left-handed users. Its placement ensures comfortable use even when wearing gloves.
