Just like the incredibly resilient animal, these knives are superbly designed to be tough, hard-wearing, and totally competent in varied long-term use. These light-weight knives feature a very good quality 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blades that have excellent cutting ability and edge retention, but are easy to resharpen as and when needed. These knives all have an incredibly smooth almost frictionless opening and closing action, facilitated by two opposing roller bearings containing a total of 18 ball bearings.
Very few knives ever achieve such an immaculate action, and it makes using them a daily pleasure!
The handle slabs are Made from a FRN (Fibre Reinforced Nylon) which carries a ridged honey-comb pattern that provides a really good multi-directional grip. While light and of slim width, they are extremely tough, resistant to slipping even when wet and fit ergonomically in the hand.
