Deploying fast and smooth on stainless steel thrust bearings, the blade can be operated with the index flipper tab or dual thumb studs.

With clean, simple and ergonomic lines these handles are classic Voxnaes design and feel great in the hand. A deep index cut out pairs with the flipper tab guard to offer excellent security while providing access to the smooth and reliable liner lock mechanism. CNC machined phosphor bronze is used for the pivot collars are partial back spacer for a subtle visual contrast. A generous hole is provided in the back spacer for lanyard attachment.
