Type of Edge : |
Partially Serrated ![Serrated edges are blades that have some kind of toothed or saw-like edge ground into the cutting surface. These are intended to be used much like a small saw with a back-and-forth motion. They're great for cutting through belts and ropes, fabric and various other textured materials.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |
Type : |
Folding ![A framelock (also frame lock) is a special type of locking mechanism used in one-handed knives. Generally considered to be more sturdy & reliable than a linerlock, the general open and close methods don't vary much; the only real difference between the two variations is that with a liner lock as the blade opens a separate liner engages to lock the blade, however in a frame lock a whole portion of the frame engages to lock the blade. Detailed description: In almost every frame lock, a detent ball engages with a hole in the base of the blade to keep it closed, as well as providing tension for a snappy opening. A stop pin mounted above and forward of the pivot locates the blade's end position when opened, also helping to eliminate wear on the lock bar.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Blade Material : |
Carbon Steel ![The use of a high carbon content changes the characteristics of steel. More specifically, it becomes stronger and harder. This is why many swords, knives, and other bladed weapons are produced with high-carbon steel. Though susceptible to rust unlike stainless steel, carbon steel is often cheaper and has its own varying mechanical properties based on carbon content. Low-carbon steels are weaker and softer, but can be machined and welded easily; while high-carbon steel is stronger, but significantly harder to process. To help prevent rusting, manufacturers usually coat carbon steel is various different forms.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |
