CPM MagnaCut - powder stainless steel manufactured using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened to 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 unique steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' U.S. steel mills.

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

Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) a patented blade locking mechanism 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.

Blade - with a modified Clip Point profile , covered with black DLC coating . Plain blade was brought out with a Full Flat Grind to increase cutting properties and reduce the weight of the knife. SpyderHole round cutout (Spyderco patent) for opening the knife, even with a glove. Notched thumb rest, ramp (spine jimping) and (finger choil jimping), notched index finger rest between the Handle and the cutting edge make it easier to work with the knife.

Handle - made of G-10 composite (durable, resistant to high and low temperatures, chemicals) bolted to steel liners using torx screws. The surface of the grips was finished with a Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern reserved for the Salt series . The folder is equipped with a screw-on metal clip with four-way (up/down, right/left) 4-way clip positions. In the back of the grip, an enlarged hole (lanyard hole) for pulling alanyard or safety line.
