O Scapegout Stonewash Titanium Drop Point

Premium European Steel

The knife blade is made of M390 powder steel. It is one of the few steels available on the market in the absolute top quality of materials used in the production of premium knives. Its best properties are obtained by proper performance of the hardening process, in which 3 stages must be flawlessly carried out: hardening, cryogenic cooling (freezing) and tempering. A properly prepared M390 blade is extremely resistant to overload, stays sharp for a long time (wears very slowly) and has excellent anti-corrosion properties.

Utilitarian Blade

The knife blade is made in the drop point style and has a flat grind. The style in which the blade was made determines its optimal functionality and dedicates it to any type of work.

The Scapegoat is one of the few Chaves knives featuring an efficient blade choil, allowing you to grip the blade close to the handle for maximum control during use.

Smooth opening and frame lock

The opening of the knife takes place thanks to the double sided thumb studs. The knife unfolds very freely and smoothly thanks to its ceramic ball bearings. The knife has a stable and durable lock to prevent accidental closure, type frame lock. In the titanium lock liners there is a steel lock insert along with a ceramic detent ball.

Titanium handle

The knife body is made of titanium (scales, backspacer). Titanium is an extremely durable material, light and practically stainless. The handle is made with the highest precision and with attention to the smallest details. It is enough to pay attention to the gap between the lock leaf and the scale, the thickness of which does not exceed 1 mm. The stonewash finish of the scales allows to hide minor damage to the handle during use.

Titanium carrying clip

The Tip-Up style carrying clip located at the end of the knife handle allows the closed blade to be carried upside down. The clip is made of titanium and has a characteristic skull shape. For those who prefer simple shapes, there is a spare clip in the package.
