This is the world's first folding knife where the blade is made of laminated powdered steel, the now well-established Super Gold Powder Steel, SGPS. Powdered steel is extremely expensive and difficult to work with and requires advanced technical knowledge combined with experienced knife makers. The advantage of this steel lies in its incredible edge retention; simply put, nothing better exists today. The slim handle is made of a strong composite material, making the knife light and comfortable to carry. With blade notches on both sides, the knife is completely symmetrical and just as easy to handle for both right- and left-handed users. The traditional lockback mechanism offers no unpleasant surprises, securely locking the blade in the open position with a distinct, reliable snap.
