14C28N – Stainless Steel for Everyday Use
14C28N performs well in EDC knives because it combines corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and practical edge stability. In the Glaux model, it facilitates cutting packaging, cords, tape, cardboard, and small technical materials. A hardness of 58–59 HRC provides a good balance between edge retention and easy maintenance.
Drop point and flat grind – a wide blade for efficient cutting
The drop point profile provides versatile blade geometry, good tip control, and stable blade guidance for everyday tasks. The flat grind facilitates the blade’s passage through material, which is why the knife performs well in both utility cutting and more precise tasks. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, technical look and emphasizes its functional character.
Norplex UltreX™ Micarta and Button Liner Lock™ – grip and quick operation
The handle made of Norplex UltreX™ Micarta ensures stability, durability, and a more comfortable grip during extended use. The fuller profile of the handle helps distribute pressure over a larger surface area, reducing fatigue during repetitive cutting. The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ allows you to conveniently release the blade with a button, while the thumb stud enables intuitive one-handed opening.
