Frequently Asked Questions
What is Damascus steel and how does it perform on the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood?
Damascus steel is made by forge-welding layers of different steels, then etching them to reveal the pattern. On the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood the Damascus blade is hardened to HRC 59–60, giving solid edge retention for EDC cutting while producing the distinctive flowing pattern the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood is known for.
How long is the blade on the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood?
The Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood has a 2.75" (7 cm) drop point blade with 0.118" stock. Closed it measures 3.74" and it opens to 6.42" overall, so the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood stays under the 3" blade limit common in many carry ordinances.
How do you open and close the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood?
The Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood opens manually with either the flipper tab or the thumb hole. To close it, push the liner lock bar sideways out from behind the blade tang and fold the blade down — keep your fingers clear of the closing path on the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood.
What is a liner lock?
A liner lock is a leaf spring cut into the handle liner that snaps behind the blade tang when the knife opens. The Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood uses this mechanism because it is simple, strong under normal cutting loads, and can be operated one-handed with the same hand that opened the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood.
How do you care for the zebrawood handle on the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood?
Wipe the scales dry after wet use and apply a light coat of mineral or wood oil a few times a year. Because the handle on the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood is natural wood, avoid prolonged soaking or dishwashers, and oil the Damascus blade lightly to protect the etched pattern.
Is the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood good for everyday carry?
Yes. At 3.92 oz with a 3.74" closed length and a single-position pocket clip, the Klaken J390 Tidekin J390-Zebrawood is compact enough for daily pocket carry while the dressier zebrawood and Damascus finish suit office or evening wear.
