It features a ComboEdge blade of 154CM stainless steel, AXIS lock mechanism, ambidextrous thumb-stud openers, molded sand-colored handle with steel liners and a reversible pocket clip. The BK1 coating provides excellent corrosion protection, which exceeds the ASTM-117 spec for saltwater while possessing higher scratch resistance.
