Description
Premium blade steel, stainless steel liners, black hard anodized 6061 aluminum scales, and hand-shaped scale inserts of cocobolo wood or Micarta®. Vertex™ DP. The model 1040 sports a drop point blade with a high hollow grind, and black Micarta scale inserts. It is sized for daily carry, witha four-inch handle and 3.125″ blade of 8Cr14MoV stainless steel in a satin finish. Then, to add value and give instant one-hand opening, we built in our OutBurst® assisted opening with the patent-pending* Fire Safe™ mechanism. When closed, the blade is safely locked by the Fire Safe pin. It cannot be opened until the safety button on the end of the thumb stud is firmly depressed and the thumb stud is nudged outward. It is both very fast, and very safe, because simply pressing the Fire Safe button does not open the knife. You must both press down and nudge the blade outward deliberately. Vertex models feature custom removable stainless steel clips in a black oxide finish. Finally, we’ve created a vertex of another type– we have aimed our suggested retail price to intersect with your most optimistic price expectations. We hope you get the point.
