MagnaCut Premium Blade Steel
The blade is made from MagnaCut stainless steel, a premium modern blade steel developed to provide a well-balanced combination of cutting performance and durability.
Hardened to 62 HRC ±1, the blade offers strong edge retention and wear resistance while maintaining impressive toughness and corrosion resistance. These characteristics make it suitable for regular everyday cutting tasks where long-term performance and reliable edge stability are important.
Although MagnaCut offers excellent corrosion resistance, the blade should still be cleaned and dried after exposure to moisture, salt, food acids or dirt.
Clip Point Blade
The 75 mm clip point blade provides a practical combination of cutting edge, precision and tip control. Its shape is suitable for opening packages, cutting cord, preparing materials and carrying out other lawful everyday utility tasks.
The 3.6 mm blade thickness gives the knife a solid construction while remaining compact enough for everyday pocket carry.
Ball-Bearing Opening System
The blade runs on a smooth ball-bearing pivot, supporting fast and controlled deployment. It can be opened using either the flipper or the thumb stud, allowing the user to select the preferred opening method.
Always keep fingers clear of the blade path during opening and closing.
Stainless Steel Frame Lock
A sturdy stainless steel frame lock secures the blade in the open position. Before using the knife, always confirm that the lock has engaged fully and that the blade is stable.
The frame lock should be kept clean and free from dirt, lint and residue that could interfere with correct engagement.
Black G10 Handle
The handle features black G10 scales with diagonal grip grooves. G10 is a strong, dimensionally stable composite material commonly used for high-quality knife handles due to its resistance to moisture and temperature changes.
The machined grooves improve traction and handling while giving the Sherman EDC II G10 Black its distinctive modern appearance.
Sherman M4-Inspired Design
The Sherman series pays tribute to the historic M4 Sherman tank. The pivot screw is inspired by the tank’s drive sprocket, creating a recognisable design feature that adds historical character without compromising the knife’s practical EDC function.
This design detail makes the knife particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of military-inspired equipment.
