This Cruz flipper is a tactical folder with absolutely exceptional action. The blade is perfectly centered with silky smooth action -- easily opened with one hand using the discreet and ambidextrous flipper toggle. The blade uses the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create smooth action with no blade play.
The blade is formed from premium M390 powdered metallurgical stainless steel for the extreme edge retention, high strength, and the toughness that a hard-use knife demands. Because of its uniform microstructure and stainless properties, M390 is often used in surgical cutting instruments and other applications that require a high finish. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge and has been differentially satin finished.
OD green G-10 scales are 3D contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. Titanium liners have been green anodized. The fileworked, textured titanium backbar is anodized to combine green and wheat tones. The machined titanium pocket clip is textured and anodized. It is mounted for tip-up, right-handed carry. The handle is completed with a paracord lanyard.
Excellent fit and finish throughout!
