M390 - the queen of knife steels in the Benchmade Lowden folder.
The knife uses a Spear Point profile blade, made of M390 steel, considered the best steel in the world used in factory knives This super steel is hardened to a hardness of 58-61 HRC. M390 is a luxury stainless steel with a very high vanadium and carbon content, which make the blade unusually have excellent retention, very resistant to abrasion and corrosion. When choosing a hard steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
The blade gets an extra layer of protection and a unique look thanks to its gray Cerakote® finish. This is the perfect combination for those who want both performance and aesthetics.
