Its 2.99-inch blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and straightforward sharpening for low-maintenance performance. A stonewashed finish complements the blade, while the carbon fiber and G10 handle provides a distinctive, functional grip. The ceramic ball-bearing pivot supports smooth opening, and the crossbar lock secures the blade when in use. Measuring 6.96 inches overall and 3.97 inches closed, this knife weighs just 2.69 ounces. With a blade hardness of 60±2 HRC, it is suited to EDC, hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14C28N Blade Introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/edcmall.cn\/collections\/14c28n\"\u003e14C28N\u003c\/a\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner: TRIVISA team\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Drop point\u003cbr\u003eBlade Material：14C28N steel\u003cbr\u003eBlade Finished：Stonewash\u003cbr\u003eHandle Material: G10\u003cbr\u003eLock Style: Crossbar lock\u003cbr\u003eHardness: 60±2HRC\u003cbr\u003eBearing: Ceramic ball bearing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize:\u003cbr\u003eOverall length-6.96\"(176.7mm)\u003cbr\u003eBlade length-2.99\" (76mm)\u003cbr\u003eClosed length-3.97\"(100.7mm)\u003cbr\u003eBlade width-1.17''（29.7mm)\u003cbr\u003eBlade thickness-0.11''(3mm)\u003cbr\u003eNet Weight:2.69oz(76.3g)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsage:Outdoor survival,EDC,hunting,fishing, hiking and camping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrivisa Koala Plus-CG - Stonewash 14C28N Drop Point on a Carbon Fiber + G10 Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/zh-hans\/collections\/trivisa-knives\"\u003eTrivisa\u003c\/a\u003e Koala Plus-CG JM13-CG-14 pairs a stonewash \u003ca href=\"\/zh-hans\/collections\/14c28n\"\u003e14C28N\u003c\/a\u003e drop point with a marbled carbon fiber + G10 handle, locked by an ambidextrous \u003ca href=\"\/zh-hans\/collections\/crossbar-lock-knives\"\u003ecrossbar lock\u003c\/a\u003e on ceramic bearings at 76.3 g.

Nitrogen alloying keeps the grain fine and the steel tough, so the edge resists chipping when you twist out of a cut, ignores rain and sweat, and comes back to shaving sharp on a basic stone in minutes. It gives up a half-step of raw edge life to super steels - and in exchange you never think about rust. The handle is a carbon fiber and G10 composite laminate: carbon fiber's marbled depth with G10's grip and impact tolerance, sealed against moisture.
