This knife has a 3.8" black Ti blade of S35VN steel. The handles of the knife are also black Ti. It is perfect in every way. It opens smooth and locks solid. The blade is dead centered. I carried the knife a couple times walking the dog and cut a couple branches out of the trail. It is still razor sharp with the factory edge. I payed $525 for the knife at BHQ and I will take $350 for it. I am looking for a Reate K2 or a Liong Mah Lanny Ti. You can text me to reach me quicker. 276-696-5104
