Trivisa Batwing Plus-LM JM10L-LM-14 14C28N Blade Micarta Handle Crossbar Lock Folding Knife

Designed by the TRIVISA team, the Batwing Plus-LM JM10L-LM-14 pairs a distinctive sheepfoot blade with a comfortable Micarta handle for everyday carry and outdoor use. Its 3.4-inch blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, a practical choice valued for corrosion resistance and easy sharpening. A rose-gold PVD finish adds a refined look, while the crossbar lock provides secure operation. Ceramic ball bearings support smooth blade movement, and the blade is rated at 60±2 HRC.

Measuring 7.75 inches overall and 4.3 inches when closed, this folding knife weighs 3.6 ounces. The 0.14-inch-thick blade balances useful cutting capability with convenient portability. Take it along for hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, or daily tasks. Its low-maintenance steel makes it especially suitable for regular use in damp conditions.

14C28N Blade Introduction

14C28N is a high-value budget-to-midrange stainless steel that excels in corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, making it a low-maintenance workhorse for EDC and wet environments, but it falls short of premium steels in edge retention and requires more frequent touch-ups when cutting highly abrasive materials like cardboard.

Trivisa Batwing Plus-LM - Rose Gold PVD 14C28N Sheepsfoot with a Micarta Handle

The Trivisa Batwing Plus-LM pairs a 3.4 inch 14C28N sheepsfoot in rose gold PVD with a blue Micarta handle, a crossbar lock and ceramic bearings at 102.9 g (3.6 oz). More folding knives at EDCMALL.

A Wide Slicing Blade Backed by 3.6 mm of 14C28N

The Batwing Plus is the biggest folder in this Trivisa run: a 3.4 inch sheepsfoot on 3.6 mm stock, finished in a rose gold PVD that reads copper under warm light. Sandvik 14C28N is the right steel for a wide push-cut blade - at 60+/-2 HRC it resists chipping, shrugs off wet weather, and grinds back to keen in minutes on a pocket stone. The Micarta scales warm to the hand and grip harder when wet, and the crossbar lock plus ceramic bearings keep the action crisp. Compare 14C28N with D2, Nitro-V and 154CM in the table below.

Why the Batwing Plus-LM Belongs in Your Pocket

• 3.4 inch 14C28N sheepsfoot blade at 60+/-2 HRC on 3.6 mm stock.
• Rose gold PVD finish that reads copper under warm light and resists scratches.
• Blue Micarta scales that warm to the hand and grip harder when wet.
• Crossbar lock: ambidextrous, dirt-tolerant and finger-safe on closing.
• Ceramic ball bearing pivot for a glassy swing.
• Thumb cut-out opening for one-handed deployment.
• Steel pocket clip, tip-up, with copper-accent hardware.
• 102.9 g (3.6 oz) on a 7.75 inch frame - a genuine full-size work folder.

Best Uses for the Batwing Plus-LM

• Work-site cutting: strapping, cardboard and rope on a wide push-cut sheepsfoot edge.
• Camp kitchen duty where a controllable tip and plenty of belly-adjacent straight edge matter.
• Wet-weather hiking - 14C28N and Micarta both shrug off rain.
• Large-handed users who need a real four-finger grip on a value folder.
• Colour-forward EDC carry: rose gold blade over blue Micarta is a look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the blade steel?
Sandvik 14C28N nitrogen stainless, hardened to 60+/-2 HRC with a rose gold PVD finish. It is corrosion-proof, hard to chip and famously easy to sharpen; expect more frequent touch-ups than a super steel under abrasive cardboard.

Why a sheepsfoot blade?
The spine curves down to a mostly straight edge, putting the cutting power under fingertip control with a safe, blunt-ish point. It is the classic slicer profile for food, packaging and controlled cuts.

How does it open and lock?
A thumb cut-out swings the blade out one-handed on ceramic ball bearings; the crossbar lock wedges behind the tang and releases with a pull of the bar.

What is the handle made of?
Blue Micarta scales over a steel frame with copper-accent hardware. Micarta gets grippier when wet and wears into a personal patina.

How big is it?
7.75" (196.8 mm) open, 4.3" (110.05 mm) closed, 3.4" (86.3 mm) blade at 0.14" (3.6 mm), and 102.9 g (3.6 oz) - the full-size option in this Trivisa batch.

Sandvik 14C28N vs. Common Pocket Knife Steels

Steel	Typical HRC	Edge Retention	Corrosion Resistance	Toughness	Sharpening Ease
14C28N (this knife)	59-61	Good	Excellent	Good	Very Easy
Nitro-V	59-61	Good	Very Good	Better	Easy
154CM	58-61	Good	Good	Very Good	Moderate
CPM-S35VN	58-60	Very Good	Very Good	Better	Moderate
D2 Tool Steel	58-61	Very Good	Fair	Good	Moderate
8Cr13MoV	57-59	Fair	Good	Good	Very Easy

Sandvik 14C28N is a nitrogen-refined martensitic stainless that lands at 58-61 HRC in production heat treats. On a value folder it is the smart pick: corrosion resistance that survives wet weather and pocket sweat, a fine stable edge that refuses to chip, and sharpening so easy a few passes on a pocket stone restore the apex. The trade is raw wear resistance - expect more frequent touch-ups than a high-vanadium super steel under abrasive cardboard work. HRC figures are typical mill ranges, not a guarantee for any single blade.

Glossary of Key Terms

Trivisa
A Chinese knife brand building value folders around practical steels, with a clean in-house design language and copper-accent hardware.

Batwing Plus-LM
Trivisa's full-width sheepsfoot folder: 3.4 inch 14C28N blade in rose gold PVD, Micarta handle, crossbar lock, 102.9 g.

Sandvik 14C28N
A nitrogen-alloyed martensitic stainless at 58-61 HRC. Corrosion-proof, fine-grained, hard to chip and famously easy to sharpen.

Crossbar Lock
A spring-loaded bar spanning the handle that wedges behind the blade tang. Fully ambidextrous, keeps fingers out of the closing path, and among the strongest folder locks built.

Ceramic Ball Bearings
Hardened ceramic balls around the pivot. The action stays glassy for years, and ceramic will not rust or flat-spot.

Micarta
Layers of linen or canvas compressed and cured in resin. It gets grippier when wet and wears into a personal patina over years of use.

Sheepsfoot Blade
A blade whose spine curves down to meet a mostly straight edge, leaving a fine, controllable point. Safest around fingers.

PVD Coating
Physical vapour deposition: a hard, thin metallic-ceramic layer bonded to the steel. Rose-gold and black finishes resist scratches; edge wear is cosmetic, not structural.

60+/-2 HRC
The Rockwell C hardness band the blade is heat treated to: hard enough for long edge life, still honest to sharpen at home with patience.

3.6 mm Blade Stock
The thickest stock in this batch - it gives the 3.4 inch blade real lateral strength behind a sheepfoot edge built for push cuts.

Who Should Buy the Batwing Plus-LM

• Buyers who want the biggest blade in the Trivisa range at a value price.
• Anyone who loves a sheepsfoot's controlled, straight-edge slicing.
• Fans of blue Micarta and rose gold finishes.
• Wet-climate carriers who want stainless steel and grippy scales.
• Users who prefer an ambidextrous crossbar lock over liner locks.

Who Should Skip It

• Minimalists - at 7.75 inches open and 102.9 g this is a full-size folder.
• Anyone who wants premium steel edge life; 14C28N trades wear resistance for easy care.
• Buyers who want a finesse tip for piercing; the sheepsfoot point is blunt-ish.
• People who dislike PVD edge wear exposing brighter steel.

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe the blade dry after every use; 14C28N is genuinely stainless, but pocket lint holds moisture against the steel.
• One drop of light knife oil at the pivot every month or two, then cycle the blade so oil spreads across the bearing.
• Blow lint and grit out of the handle channel and lock track before oiling - that is where dust collects.
• Sharpen on a 1000-grit water stone or a ceramic rod; 14C28N grinds fast and takes a keen working edge in minutes.
• PVD and black stonewash finishes wear bright at the edge with use - exposed steel behaves the same, just lighter.
• Scrub G10 and Micarta scales with warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush; wipe carbon fiber with a damp cloth only.
• On liner-lock models press the lock bar fully aside before closing; forcing the blade past a live liner rounds lock faces.
• Check the pocket clip, pivot and body screws every couple of months with the correct Torx driver.
• Never pry, twist or use the tip as a screwdriver - the 2.99 inch blade is a slicer, not a lever.
