Spyderco MicroJimbo Black G10, Black DLC Plain CPM S30V Knife by Michael Janich (C264GPBK)

MicroJimbo Black G10, Black DLC Plain is a compact version of the Yojimbo design, created by M. Janich, a personal defense trainer. It is unique due to the refined ergonomics of the G10 handle, which complements the natural curves of the hand for maximum contact and control. The blade is made of CPM S30V steel , known for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and long-lasting sharpness. All this makes it an ideal choice for an everyday knife. The Compression Lock mechanism ensures safe and secure use of the knife. Exceptional quality and unique design combine functionality and aesthetics. This is undoubtedly a knife that deserves a place in any knife lover's collection.

CPM S30V - one of the best knife steels, corrosion-resistant, mechanical stress-resistant American martensitic powder steel CPM S30V with carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knife maker Chris Reeve to offer the best combination of strength, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The alloy contains 1.45% carbon (C) and a significant admixture of vanadium carbides 4.0% (V) and chromium 10.5% (Cr). Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.

Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) Blade locking mechanism patented by Spyderco (made in USA). Extremely durable, it provides extreme strength and ease of use. Located on the back of the Handle, it protects the knife from inadvertent locking. When releasing the lock, the fingers are not in the path of the folding Blade.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade's surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.

Blade - with Warncliff profile ,3.7 mm thick. Plain blade was derived with a Full Flat Grind. The straight cutting edge provides exceptional cutting performance, transferring power to the blade's hilt and providing better point strength. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allows the Blade to be easily opened with a gloved hand as well as wet, sweaty hands. Coated with black DLC coating .

Handle grips - stainless steel liners and lightweight grips made of G-10, a durable, heat- and cold-resistant, chemical-resistant plastic. The whole was screwed together with torx screws for easy unfolding/folding of the folder. A double-sided (right/left) metal clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).
