Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-20CV steel different from standard stainless?
CPM-20CV is a premium powder metallurgy steel that holds an edge significantly longer than standard stainless steels. The 59-61 HRC hardness provides excellent cutting performance while maintaining good corrosion resistance for daily carry.
Can I carry this knife tip-down?
No, the clip is designed for tip-up carry only. However, it is reversible for left or right-hand carry in the tip-up position.
How does the AXIS lock work?

Is this knife suitable for outdoor use?
