Its black-coated 154CM modified drop-point blade carries a combo edge, pairing a plain cutting section with serrations that chew through rope, webbing, and zip ties, while the coating adds corrosion protection and a low-glare finish. The fully ambidextrous AXIS lock with dual thumb studs delivers smooth one-hand operation, and the textured black Valox handle keeps a positive grip.
