The Benchmade 590SBK-1 Boost is a universal edc knife equipped with a combo blade made of S30V steel, a mechanism supporting the opening of the blade, a reliable axis-lock and reinforced Versaflex cladding.
The knife has a usable drop-point blade with a length of 94 mm, made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel.
S30V powder steel by Crucible Industries is hardened to an optimal hardness of 58-60 HRC, therefore it maintains high sharpness for a long time, has high mechanical strength, and is also resistant to corrosion.
Due to the high content of vanadium carbides, the steel is distinguished by high toughness and abrasion resistance, as well as excellent cutting properties. The blade is covered with a layer of black Teflon, which protects the blade from minor scratches.
When choosing a hard steel knife, you should get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very laborious and ineffective.
