This Phoenix model sports a Flat Dark Earth coated handle with a Phoenix laser etching. Its compound ground blade features a black Cerakote finish.
The Paragon Phoenix offers a single-edge version of the popular Warlock design. It has the same innovative opening mechanism that offers quick one-handed deployment and easy closing. The handle is made from tough and lightweight aluminum with a tapered pommel that rests perfectly in the hand. CPM-S30 steel provides a tough blade with a compound grind for precision cutting performance. A stainless steel pocket clip with a black finish completes the superior design.
Features:
Good steel, cool design, arrived very sharp and seems ready to stay that way. Normally I need to touch up blade edges slightly when they arrive but this one barely needed it. My one question regarding it would be, is it normal to have some slight handle play with this particular knife due to the design? I have noticed it seems to have developed a very slight bit of play in the handle if I take it between my thumb and index finger and slide the clamshells back and forth. I wonder if this is normal, simply because of the design, and if it might be something I could tighten on my own, or if it would require a return for repairs eventually. Its by no means a deal breaker for this excellent and well made knife however! It still opens and closes quickly and by no means is unusable, just a minor thing to take note of.
