Vanax SuperClean – Modern Blade Steel for a Premium Pocket Knife
The approximately 8.9 cm long blade is made of Vanax SuperClean. This modern steel is used in high-quality knives particularly for its high corrosion resistance, balanced edge retention, and fine microstructure.
The blade features a hollow grind and a thickness of approximately 3.7 mm. This allows the Raptor V3 to combine a robust construction with a blade geometry designed for controlled cutting tasks. Even a corrosion-resistant blade steel should be cleaned and fully dried after use.
Integral Titanium Frame with Crystallized Inlays
The central design element of the Raptor V3 Dark Blast is the integral titanium frame. Unlike a handle made from several traditional frame scales, this results in a particularly clean and cohesive construction.
Crystallized titanium inlays, matching thumb studs, and the crystallized titanium clip create visible accents. Due to the unique surface structure, slight visual differences may occur. These do not constitute a defect in individually processed metal finishes, provided the usability of the product is not affected.
Ceramic Ball Bearings and Integral Framelock
The blade runs on ceramic ball bearings. Together with the tuned blade detent, the construction supports a smooth opening and closing process. The integral framelock mechanically holds the fully opened blade in position.
Before each use, it must be checked that the blade is fully open and the lock is properly engaged. When unlocking and closing, no fingers should be in the blade's range of motion.

In addition, more extensive prohibitions may apply at events, in prohibited zones, and in public long-distance transport.
