The straight spear-point blade, sharpened on a single side, is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with Kershaws BlackWash coating for a non-reflective, œ already-broken-in look. The coating not only helps protect the blade, but also hides use scratches. The handle has glass-filled nylon scales with heavy arrow-patterned texturing to enhance grip. A stout steel liner, also with non-reflective BlackWash, provides an equally stout liner lock to secure the blade open during use.
