with titanium. It certainly do not prejudging when it comes to quality of the entire knife, nevertheless the newer models are made from the VG10 steel. The 9 cm (3,54in) blad is a slightly modified narrow drop point with something as a partial false edge which is strictly aesthet- ic function, adding a kind of aggressive character and breaking a simplicity of the design. The blade was slightly matted with a fine stonewash therefore it pleasantly composes with gray- ness of titanium. The high, hollow grind ensures very good cut properties, and a small notch which begins a cutting edge, is a nice convenience while cutting. A slightly uneven exit of the grinds (slightly lowered on the right side) is the only disadvan- tage with regard to its execution, however it is a trifle which is hard to notice. Despite the finishing, all lines are sharply de- fined and the individual planes are explicitly separated. The blade is also centered flawlessly. The knife opens very smoothly due to applying a bearing sys- tem (IKBS), but still setting the blade in motion using the flipper makes problems. As long as a small streamlined flipper looks very aesthetically, its functionality is much more worse. A fin- ger often slides down from the flipper at which is hard to ob- tain a certain support and pressure sufficient to open the knife. www.fragoutmag.com
