Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-CruWear steel different from other blade steels?
CPM-CruWear is a tool steel that balances toughness with wear resistance. At 63-65 HRC hardness, it holds a sharp edge longer than most stainless steels while remaining tough enough for hard-use applications without chipping.
Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?
Yes, the deep-carry clip is reversible and designed for tip-up carry. This allows you to configure the knife for left or right-hand carry while maintaining the low-profile deep-carry design.
How does the ballistic nylon sheath attach to gear?
The sheath is MOLLE compatible, allowing direct attachment to plate carriers, chest rigs, and tactical packs with standard MOLLE webbing. The ballistic nylon construction resists abrasion and moisture.
Does this knife require special maintenance?
CPM-CruWear is a carbon steel that can develop patina over time. Keep the blade clean and dry, and apply a light coat of oil for long-term storage. The G10 handle requires minimal maintenance beyond basic cleaning.
What tasks is the Adamas designed to handle?
This is a hard-use tactical folder designed for demanding cutting tasks. The drop-point blade and tough construction handle everything from rope and webbing to food prep and utility cutting in field conditions.
