Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-M4 steel different from standard knife steels?
CPM-M4 is a powder metallurgy tool steel that offers exceptional wear resistance and edge retention. The 62-64 HRC hardness provides a balance of toughness and cutting performance that outperforms most stainless steels in demanding applications.
Is this knife legal to carry?
Automatic knives have varying legal restrictions by state and locality. Check your local and state laws before carrying any automatic knife, as some jurisdictions restrict or prohibit automatic opening mechanisms.
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 tip-up orientation.
How do I maintain the gray coating on the blade?
The gray coating helps protect against corrosion and reduces glare. Clean with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating finish.
Does this knife work with MOLLE systems?
No, this knife is not MOLLE compatible. It uses a standard pocket clip system for belt or pocket carry rather than MOLLE attachment hardware.
