Blade: The compact blade of the Colon is made of low maintenance and razor sharp Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel and is the perfect size for trimming threads, opening boxes and other light duty tasks. The blade opens via a generous nail nick on a simple slip-joint mechanism for ease of operation. Handle: The Colon is made with a simple, traditional construction with handsome Black Linen Micarta scales supported by stainless steel liners and back spring all held together with steel pins. The backspring extends from the end of the handle and is equipped with a steel split ring and lanyard for neck carry. A hand stitched leather slip covers the knife when closed for protection and discreet carry. Japanese AUS-8 Stainless Steel: a low carbon, high chromium stainless steel produced by Aichi Steel Corporation, Japan. We’ve found it to have an excellent balance between toughness and strength. It offers good corrosion resistance and is capable of acquiring a razor sharp edge. It typically dulls faster than S30V, but has better edge retention than 440C. Sharpening should be a breeze. The “A” signifies that AUS-8 steel has been annealed after the steel has been cold rolled to relieve stress prior to heat treatment.
