Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-S30V steel good for everyday carry?
CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. At 58-60 HRC hardness, it holds a sharp edge through daily cutting tasks while remaining easy to sharpen when needed.
Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?
The 940-2 features a reversible tip-up clip that can be configured for left or right-hand carry. The clip position is tip-up only and cannot be changed to tip-down carry.
How does the reverse tanto blade shape perform?
The reverse tanto profile provides a strong, reinforced tip for piercing tasks while maintaining a curved cutting edge for slicing. This design offers versatility for both utility cutting and more demanding tasks.
What is the advantage of G10 handle material?
G10 is a fiberglass laminate that provides excellent grip texture while remaining lightweight. It resists moisture, chemicals, and temperature changes better than many other handle materials.
