Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-MagnaCut steel different from other stainless steels?

CPM-MagnaCut offers exceptional edge retention while maintaining easy sharpening characteristics. The steel resists chipping and provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional stainless blade steels.

Is the AXIS lock suitable for heavy-duty tasks?

Yes. The AXIS lock mechanism distributes stress across the entire lock bar rather than a single point, making it one of the strongest folding knife lock systems available.

Can left-handed users operate this knife effectively?

Absolutely. The AXIS lock design allows full ambidextrous operation, and the pocket clip can be configured for left or right-hand tip-up carry.

How should I maintain the DLC coating?

Clean the blade with mild soap and water, then dry completely. The DLC coating is extremely durable but avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
