M390 - powder-metallurgical, martensitic high-performance chromium steel. Due to the alloy concept, it is characterized by extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Thanks to its high wear resistance, it retains its edge shape, keeping the blade sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another advantage is its resistance to “wire” formation during sharpening. Steel with a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) with an admixture of 1.9% carbon (C), 4.0% vanadium (V), hardened to 59-61 HRC, subjected to 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, handmade satin finish. Blade thickness ensures high durability, while the high, flat grind gives the cutting edge perfect geometry and extreme cutting performance. Tapered swedge in the upper part to improve piercing ability. Ceramic ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a fast flipper fin (index-finger flipper) after opening the crossguard. The knife can also be opened with the hole in the handle. The whole is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent the lock face from wearing off.

Handle - made of a single piece of titanium 6AI4V, processed on CNC milling machines. Monolithic body with the highest strength, which is a solid structural element guaranteeing rigidity and strength of the entire structure. Only a few companies are able to make a handle with such incredible accuracy! The simple and solid design guarantees many years of use. Single position clip (right) made of titanium allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. Pivot axis decorated with a blue rim (pivot collar cap) and an elaborately integrated zirconium inlay.

Case: a zippered soft nylon pouch with the manufacturer's logo is included for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
