These knives have been designed with a thick tip and a moderate final edge angle to maximize the durability of CPM-3V (see note below for additional edge thickness information). The handles are ergonomically contoured to provide comfort in all holding positions and have a matte finish to increase grip. The carbon fiber handled knives are slightly slimmer than the layered G10 knives, which contributes to further weight reduction versus G10. The image above with the sheaths shows some of the various ways the belt loops can be positioned for carry.

Please Note:
*- The heat treating is outsourced to a professional experienced in heat treating CPM steels to Crucible’s specifications with the hardness verified by Rockwell diamond impression after final tempering
**- Due to the nature of Kydex, the surface of the blade will show superficial scuffs and scratches; The tip of the sheath has an opening for moisture drainage
Additional Edge Thickness Info:
About the tip and convex edge, other than the tip and half way up the belly, the rest of the blade (approx 4" of it) has a thickness of 0.010" - 0.015" at the top of the edge grind (before grinding the edge, the primary grind was taken almost to a zero edge to provide for a good slicing edge). The tip and thick grind of the belly, however, are quite robust at 0.020" - 0.030". I do not usually provide such a thick tip section but in the case of 3V, which lends itself to being used harder, it provides an extra measure of durability.
