Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the CPM-S30V steel special?

CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that holds a sharp edge longer than standard steels while remaining easy to sharpen. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides the ideal balance of edge retention and toughness for daily use.

How does the titanium construction affect performance?

The integral billet titanium handles are machined from a single piece of metal, eliminating weak points found in assembled handles. Titanium offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

Are ball bearing pivots better than bushings?

Ball bearing pivots provide smoother action with less friction than traditional bushings. This results in more consistent flipping performance and reduced wear over time.

What is the through-hole milled fuller?

The fuller is a groove milled through the blade that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. It also matches the aesthetic design of the titanium handles for a cohesive look.
