Carpenter Technology's Micro-Melt PD#1 is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel formulated to offer superior wear resistance and toughness. Enhanced by the CarTech Micro-Melt powder metal process, it ensures an ultra-fine, homogeneous grain structure. This high-performance steel is the heart of a limited-edition Sprint Run series of our popular lightweight models. Blades are cloaked in non-reflective titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating, and handles are injection molded in deep burgundy. Pocket clips, lock bars, and hardware sport durable black coatings, complementing the black-and-burgundy theme.
