Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-3V steel different from other blade steels?

CPM-3V is a tool steel known for exceptional toughness and impact resistance. It holds a sharp edge well while being less prone to chipping than harder steels, making it ideal for utility and prying tasks.

How does the Axis-Assist mechanism work?

The Axis-Assist system uses a spring-loaded bar that assists blade deployment once you start opening the knife with the thumb stud. This provides quick, smooth one-handed opening from either side.

Can the blunt tip handle prying tasks safely?

Yes, the blunt pry-tip design reinforces the blade point specifically for light prying and scraping tasks. The opposing bevel grind and CPM-3V steel construction support these utility applications.

What does MOLLE compatible mean for this knife?

MOLLE compatibility means the knife is designed to work with modular load-bearing equipment systems commonly used in tactical and military applications, allowing secure attachment to compatible gear.
