Ball Bearing Knife Technology
Ball bearing knives are designed for smooth and efficient opening with a reduction in friction for rapid blade deployment
Cerakote Coating
Cerakote is a Polymer-Ceramic Composite coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Cerakote ceramic coatings utilize state-of-the-art technology to out-perform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real-world applications.
Micarta
Micarta is known for its strength and durability and is nearly impervious to weather, oils, and solvents, making it slip resistant in wet conditions.
Liner Lock
A liner lock is folding knife that locks open via a tensioned metal liner inside the handle. Similar to a lock back, opening the blade activates the lock. Unlocking is achieved by placing the thumb on the front part of the liner and pushing it to the left, which releases the blade. Liner locks are typically one hand open, one hand close. A blade thumb stud, flipper, or hole, enables one-hand opening.
Flipper Knife
A flipper knife opens by engaging the tab on the top of the knife with your index finger for rapid deployment.
