Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the AXIS lock different from other folding knife mechanisms?

The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back rather than side to side. This allows ambidextrous operation and creates a strong lockup that distributes stress across the entire mechanism rather than a single point.

Is CPM-S30V steel easy to sharpen in the field?

CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that holds an edge well but requires proper sharpening technique. The 58-60 HRC hardness means it will take longer to sharpen than softer steels, but the edge retention makes up for the extra effort.

Can this knife handle heavy-duty processing tasks?

The 3.50-inch blade and drop-point geometry make this knife suitable for most hunting and processing tasks. The 0.124-inch blade thickness provides good strength for moderate chopping and splitting work.

Does the dual-durometer handle work with gloves?

Yes, the Grivory and Versaflex handle materials are designed to provide grip security even when wearing hunting gloves or in wet conditions.
