Why It Stands Out
Purposeful Materials. Clean Controls. Compact Carry.
Each component is selected to support practical cutting performance, confident handling and streamlined everyday storage.
01
Balanced Blade Steel
CPM 154 offers a useful balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and toughness for routine cutting tasks.
02
Fast Push-Button Action
The low-profile push button provides direct automatic deployment while preserving the handle’s clean and compact shape.
03
Secure Button Lock
The integrated lock holds the blade in the open position during appropriate use.
04
Machined Aluminum Handle
Diagonal grooves add visual definition and tactile texture without unnecessary bulk.
05
Trailing-Point Profile
The plain-edge trailing-point blade supports controlled slicing and general utility work.
06
Reversible Deep-Carry Clip
Configure the tip-up clip for either right- or left-side carry preference.
Two-Tone Blade Finish
Distinctive Contrast Without Excess Decoration
The blade combines a dark-coated spine with satin-finished grinds for a sharp two-tone appearance that complements the black anodized handle.
The result is a modern profile that remains focused on useful geometry, controlled handling and everyday practicality.
