D2 tool steel

D2 steel is known for its excellent wear resistance. It contains chromium, carbon, vanadium, and manganese—a combination that makes it particularly suitable for abrasive cutting. It is hardened to 60–61 HRC, which ensures a long-lasting cutting edge.

Micarta – handle material

Micarta is a high-quality material made from flax or canvas and epoxy resins. It has a layered structure that is firmly bonded by the resins. The handle is hard, durable, and resistant to moisture and temperature changes—it won’t chip or break easily under any conditions.

Bearings

The built-in bearings are made of hardened steel and phosphor bronze. They ensure smooth and easy opening of the blade and keep it properly centered with every use.

Liner Lock – locking mechanism

The Liner Lock is one of the most commonly used locking mechanisms in folding knives. The side spring slides into place and locks the blade in the open position. To release it, simply apply pressure with your thumb on the side. The knife can be closed with one hand without changing your grip.

Flipper – Quick Open

Flipper knives open using a tab that protrudes from the spine of the blade. Its surface is slightly textured for better grip. The knife is opened with a sliding motion of the index finger—quickly and intuitively.

Advantages of the flipper mechanism

• Convenience for everyday use
• One-handed opening
• Quick and secure opening
• A streamlined profile for better performance
