This variant features a patterned anodized titanium handle over a full titanium chassis, while the heart of the knife is a Japanese ZDP-189 San Mai tanto blade hardened to HRC 65–67 for extreme edge retention. The Kickstop hidden flipper vanishes into the handle when open, preserving a clean tanto silhouette, and a ceramic ball-bearing pivot keeps the action fast and controlled.
