Modern X8Ni9 Clad AU Handle material:Masur Birch The blade’s geometry is definedCrafted to balance uncompromising performance with refined aesthetics, this Apex Ultra composite blade is clad in X8Ni9, a low carbon, nickel alloy steel valued for its toughness and corrosion resistance, and incorporates a nickel diffusion barrier between cladding and core. Through acid etching, the cladding resolves into contrasting layers of deep blacks and muted greys, with subtle alloy banding elements intermittently emerging through the surface.
