It can be opened and closed with one hand, allowing easy access when needed. The lock for the blade is used to assist with opening the blade and can be operated with one finger (normally the thumb or index finder). It is also extremely strong, ensuring the blade will stay fixed when opened and locked. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe C.A.C Blade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe steel used for the blade was specially developed by TB Outdoor's factory for the CAC knives.

TB Outdoor have selected for their collection of CAC knives a fiberglass-infused PA6 FV. Integrating fiberglass with the polyamide makes it possible to form a three-dimensional network of the skeleton of the part, strengthening its construction. The technical properties of PA6 FV are very similar to those of metal in terms of deformation, creep characteristics and energy absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the G10?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe G10 consists of fiberglass that is dipped in resin. After compression and curing of this mixture the G10 becomes a lightweight, durable and robust material. Outdoor and survival knives often offer G10 handles because of these characteristics. G10 is a very resistant material and not very sensitive to water, cold, heat, rot or corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(2026 manufactured CAC knives will come with an updated serrated blade, the pattern of the serrations have changed for longevity and durability)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Short \u0026amp; Sweet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.62\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed Length: 5.63\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 9.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: Nitrox Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Style: Drop Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Edge: Plain or Serrated (depends on version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finish: Black PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Sculpted Black PA6 Polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking Mechanism: Crossbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket Clip: Black Stainless Steel Reversible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.7 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe utility version has corkscrew and the S200 version \u003cstrong\u003edoes not\u003c\/strong\u003e have corkscrew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","offers":[{"title":"S200 Black (No Corkscrew) (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679183895,"sku":"46173924917489","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S200 Black (No Corkscrew) (Straight Edge)","offer_id":44985679216663,"sku":"46173924950257","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S200 Desert (No Corkscrew) (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679249431,"sku":"46173924983025","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S200 OD Green GH (No Corkscrew - Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679282199,"sku":"46173925015793","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"S200 OD Green (No Corkscrew - Straight Edge)","offer_id":44985679314967,"sku":"46173925048561","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"S200 OD Green (No Corkscrew) (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679347735,"sku":"46173925081329","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility Black (Smooth Handle) (Straight Edge)","offer_id":44985679380503,"sku":"46173925114097","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility Black (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679413271,"sku":"46173925146865","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility Black (Smooth Handle \/ Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679446039,"sku":"46173925179633","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility Green (Smooth Handle) (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679478807,"sku":"46173925212401","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility Hi Viz Red Knife (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679511575,"sku":"46173925245169","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Utility Hi Viz Yellow (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679544343,"sku":"46173925277937","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility Yellow (Smooth Handle - Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679577111,"sku":"46173925310705","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility Desert (Smooth Grip - Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679609879,"sku":"46173925343473","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility OD Green (Serrated Blade)","offer_id":44985679642647,"sku":"46173925376241","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Utility OD Green (Smooth Handle \/ Straight Edge)","offer_id":44985679675415,"sku":"46173925409009","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/8646\/9655\/files\/TBO054.jpg?v=1776115025","url":"https:\/\/bukasworld.com\/products\/c-a-c-axis-lock-knife","provider":"BUKAS WORLD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
