Ostap Hel - a talented Polish knifemaker and designer. His designs are based on the fundamentals of geometry, smooth transitions and the concept of "golden proportion". He is not afraid to experiment with new shapes and ideas to suit the unique style and production capabilities of the company he designs for.

CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels, a premium American martensitic stainless steel. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Designed to provide better wear resistance while maintaining corrosion resistance at the highest level. This super steel is comparable to Bohler's M390 steel or Carpenter's CTS-204P. According to some knife manufacturers, 20CV is the best of these three steels in terms of edge retention. It consists of 1.9% carbon (C), 20.0% chromium (Cr), 4.0% vanadium (V), 1.0% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.6% tungsten (W). The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.

Blade - drop point type, finished with a scratch-masking Black Stonewashed finish. The fine belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides the perfect balance between strength and cutting properties. The high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper). On the back you will find a perfectly made "jimping", a notch on which you can put your finger improving the grip and control of the knife during use. The whole thing is locked with a modern liner lock.

Handle - Canvas Micarta (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin) attached to 6AL4V titanium liners. Chamfered edges of the liners eliminate sharp edges. The grips are screwed to an intricately machined titanium backspacer, giving assurance of many years of use. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized WE Knife brand logo. A two-position (right/left) titanium deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in the tip-up (blade tip up) position. On the back of the Handle a lanyard hole, hidden in the backspacer, a place for a decorative or safety line.

Case - included zippered soft nylon case with manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
