Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-S30V steel good for EDC use?

CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. Hardened to 58-60 HRC, it holds a sharp edge through daily cutting tasks while remaining easy to sharpen when needed.

How does the AXIS lock work?

The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward to lock the blade open. Press the bar back with your thumb to close the knife. This mechanism works equally well for left and right-handed users.

Can I change the pocket clip position?

Yes, the mini deep carry clip is reversible and designed for tip-up carry. You can move it to either side of the handle for left or right-handed pocket carry.

What is Grivory handle material?

Grivory is a glass-filled nylon that provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It resists impact and temperature changes while maintaining a secure grip surface.
