Brand new, direct from Guardian Tactical, USA.

Blade: The piercing Tanto blade sports a dual hollow grind with razor sharp, partial serrated cutting edge. A center fuller adds visual appeal while the rugged, non-reflective Stonewashed finish hides wear from use. The blade operates on an innovative and patented floating mechanism that prevents undue wear on the blade as well as delivering a smooth, drag-free operation. Push the top slide, which rides smoothly on bearings and a non-magnetic stainless steel plate, and the blade deploys and retracts with a decisive action.

Handle: Blue hard anodized, aircraft grade aluminum houses the blade and mechanism with subtle finger contours and strategic milling on the sides for a solid, secure grip. The construction is completed with Torx hardware and a hole is provided for lanyard attachment at the pommel end.

Carries via a right hand, tip down only pocket clip.

Bohler Elmax: Elmax has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. Elmax also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid corrosion (rust) by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Elmax has very similar performance to M390 and is used interchangeably by Microtech.
