The LG301BLUE has a S35-VN tool steel blade with a false top swedge, thumb ramp jimping, and a reinforced tip for maximum penetration effectiveness without compromising integrity. The stonewashed finish on the blade and handle is extremely durable and makes this an ideal folder for tactical operations. The handle is made from milled aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and to keep the weight down. It's ergonomic, lightning-fast, and just an awesome all-around blade.
