Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-D2 steel different from other blade steels?
CPM-D2 is a premium tool steel known for exceptional edge retention and toughness. The powder metallurgy process creates a finer grain structure than conventional D2, resulting in better performance and easier sharpening.
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-handed use while maintaining the low-profile carry position.
Is this knife legal to carry in my state?
Automatic knives have varying legal restrictions by state and locality. Check your local and state laws before carrying any automatic opening knife.
How do I maintain the serrated edge?
Serrated edges require specialized sharpening tools like ceramic rods or diamond-coated files. Focus on sharpening the flat side of each serration rather than the scalloped edge to maintain the cutting geometry.
What does the cobalt black finish do?
The cobalt black coating provides corrosion resistance and eliminates blade reflection. This non-reflective finish is particularly valuable for tactical applications where light discipline matters.
