Introduced by KA-BAR and designed by the respected custom knife maker Bob Dozier.
This D2 Steel folder features a black aluminum handle, a razor sharp D2 steel straight edge blade, and the sleek look of this knife makes it the perfect choice for users who want a knife that functions just as well as it looks.
It measures 4" closed, a full 7 1/16" open.
With its linerlock design and thumb stud, it provides easy one hand operation.
The traditional drop point blade is hollow ground to a 15 degree edge angle and has a HRC 60-61 CR hardness rating.
Cutting tests prove that D2 is one of the toughest steels used in knife making.
Results show that D2 cuts twice the amount of media as a standard carbon steel knife.
One of a handful of machines like it in the world, the CATRA tester uses controlled pressure, stroke length, number of cycles and a certified sand-impregnated paper to determine the sharpness and edge-holding capabilities of a blade.
