Comes complete with an oversized lanyard hole and reversible deep-carry clip for convenient EDC.

CPM-S30V Steel: Chris Reeve is famous for developing two steels directly with Crucible Industries, and boy did this partnership result in an awesome product. S30V is, in many eyes, the ultimate EDC steel. Exhibiting very good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability, S30V is utilized by a variety of makers for its performance and balance. CPM-S30V has become one of the most used premium steels on the market among knife manufacturers. If you are looking for a high end stainless steel knife that will keep an edge, that will be durable, and will resist corrosion–definitely consider one made with a CPM-S30V blade.
