D Rocket Design Al Br BarloX Black PVD M390 Carbon Fiber Al Bronze Manual OTF Knife

Inspired by the classic Barlow slip joint, the D Rocket Design Barlox blends a traditional blade shape with the innovative manual out-the-front action of his KatanaX. The blade slides on rails and extends from the front of the handle similar to a standard utility knife. There are no springs involved, just the mechanical movement of the button making this sub-2 inch blade a fully California legal option as well. This version comes with a black PVD coated M390 blade and black carbon fiber inlaid aluminum bronze handle. Brand new, direct from D Rocket Design. Blade: A Barlow-style spear blade comes in black PVD coated M390 stainless steel with a high slicing grind and stylish dual fullers. Deployment is simple: press and slide the button up to expose the blade, reverse to retract. Handle: Dual slabs of carbon fiber inlaid aluminum bronze house the blade and button lock which ride in the centrally milled channels with secure full stops open and closed. The raw aluminum bronze alloy will naturally patina over time, though slower than standard bronze. The carbon fiber inlays reduce weight while delivering an elevated style. Dual guards provide added safety and a titanium extension allows for lanyard attachment or keychain carry. No clip. Bohler M390: Bohler M390 (analog to CPM-20CV and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high level edge retention and corrosion resistance. A popular choice for high-end production and custom knives, M390 is relatively easy to sharpen, with toughness on par with 440C/154CM.
