The blade is perfectly centered and can be opened easily using the ambidextrous front flipper tab. The blade has silky-smooth action thanks to the ball bearing pivot.
The blade is hand ground RWL-34 blade with a meticulous hand rubbed satin finish. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured by Damasteel in Sweden. Because it is manufactured from rapidly solidified powders, the microstructure of the steel is much more uniform. This gives the steel much higher strength and durability while maintaining very high wear resistance. The blade is flat ground and razor sharp. Sagric's touchmark is on the left side of the blade.
Handle scales are blackwood carbon fiber, set on satin finished titanium liners. The scales meet with Zircuti (zirconium/titanium damascus) bolsters in an elegant curve. The contoured handle fills your hand and provides a comfortable grip. The liners surround a matching ZircuTi backbar that includes a lanyard hole. The 3D machined ZircuTi pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
