Handle made of 6061 military-grade aluminum
Aluminum 6061 is remarkably lightweight. Highly resistant to oxidation, it also has great strength under mechanical stress.
These properties are further enhanced by a surface treatment with bead blasting and a black anodized oxidation finish.
Ceramic ball bearing
Like our Xiris model, the blade pivots using a top-of-the-range mechanism with 18 ceramic balls:
-Perfectly spherical
-Smooth surface
Non-deformable
Extremely long-lasting
Lubrication-free operation
-Ultra-smooth blade rotation
mechanism integrated into the handles
The stainless steel internal plates, which ensure that the blade pivots, locks open and remains in the closed position, are integrated inside the aluminium handles.
As a result, the overall thickness is reduced to a compact size, while still retaining its rock-solid strength.
Limited edition
Each Elite knife is individually identified by a unique laser-engraved serial number.
Select your number when ordering.
Automatic blade lock
The Liner-Lock mechanism on the Elite knife automatically locks the blade in the open position by means of a spring system. It is widely recognised and used for its simplicity and, above all, its unfailing reliability.
When the blade is closed, this mechanism also ensures that it stays in place thanks to a positioning ball.
Fast flipper opening
Combined with the ceramic ball bearing system, the Elite knife's flipper system has a length that optimises leverage for ultra-fluid, ultra-fast opening.
Once open, it is ideally positioned as an extension of the handle and acts as a handguard.
Ambidextrous clip
Elite is fitted with two retaining clips.
It can therefore be worn ambidextrously without modification. Its compact geometry ensures a discreet, ergonomic fit.
Afterglow markers
Three luminous markers are positioned on the Elite knife. One on each side of the blade and one on the back.
These markers are made of X1 grade Superluminova, stabilised in a special ultra-transparent resin. Grade X1 is one of the most effective and luminous postluminescent materials in the world. This material is commonly used in high-end Swiss watches.
Non-radioactive, it is composed of strontium aluminate doped with Europium and Dysprosium.
