CPM MagnaCut - a powder stainless steel produced using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened to between 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more "conventional" steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM MagnaCut succeeded in creating a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This exceptional steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' American steel mills.

Blade - of Drop Point shape with a single-sided cutting edge and a long false blade on top. Finished with a bath of fine Stonewashed stones. The blade was brought out with a Flat grind for excellent cutting and especially penetration properties. At the base of the Blade double finger guard double-sided elevation to protect the hand from slipping on the blade. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest to increase control of the knife for precision work.

Handle - grips made of G10 composite, fiberglass and synthetic resin. Provides durability and the ergonomic shape improves a secure grip especially with wet hands. Bolted directly to the tang with screws, which ensures the practically indestructibility of such a design. Around the front screw decorative collar cap made of titanium. In the rear part a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.

Sheath - made of high-quality leather, with an eye for hanging on the belt. The magnets placed there hold the sheath. You can also put it in your pocket, the ear then fulfills the role of a clip, as in folders.
