M390 - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, vacuum and cryogenic treatment and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - Drop Point type, finished with an elegant hand satin finish. The elongated belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the blade converging toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength whilethe high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. For improved piercing capability, a tapered swedge at the top. Ball bearing ceramic supports the opening of the blade with a fast front flipper (index-finger front flipper). A section of the blade's back is covered with an upper jimping, a notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole thing is locked with the proven and popular liner lock.

Handle - 6AL4V titanium skeleton , to which a zirconium bolster and Lava Flow Fat Carbon composite wraps are attached. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. Only a few companies are able to make a Handle with such incredible accuracy! The grips are joined together using a titanium backspacer covered with upper jimping. Single-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows to carry the knife in tip-up position.

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