High-Performance N690Co Stonewash Blade
The blade is crafted from Bohler N690Co stainless steel with a stonewash finish that minimizes glare and conceals wear. Its pronounced hawkbill profile delivers excellent bite and control for slice-and-pull cutting tasks common to utility, rescue, and tactical uses.

A reliable liner lock secures the blade open for confident use, while a reversible tip-up pocket clip supports discreet carry.
