Featuring an 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade with black-oxide coating, the CQC-2K has good slicing and piercing ability. The blade’s clip-point design has a slight recurve on the cutting edge which gives it a steeper angle of attack when cutting. The CQC-2K’s ergonomically designed handle is a combination of textured G10 on the front and black-oxide-coated stainless steel on the back. The coating gives the folder a distinctive look and a non-reflective, low profile.
