The Hornet's blade rides on a ball bearing pivot system, making for a blade deployment that is smooth as glass. CPM MagnaCut is a premium powder metallurgy steel possessing a balance of excellent edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. By reducing excess chromium carbides and adding harder vanadium and niobium carbides in their place, the result is a blade steel with excellent wear resistance that is well suited for any cutting task. The Hornet features a secure button lock mechanism with a combination flipper tab and thumb hole. Includes reversible pocket clip to allow both right and left hand carry.
