The DB is a short, stout fixed blade designed by a police officer that needed a hard use tool that was part pry bar, and part knife and could be pressed into any role that was easy to carry on a duty belt or vest. For those reasons, it has found favor with military and LE guys as a small go anywhere do anything type knife. Monkey Edge Exclusive CPM 3V .250in stock Frag Edition:
takes the tough DB and combines it with the crazy tough CPM 3V steel and adds a set of our exclusive Frag Grip G10 scales.
About CPM 3V: The three criteria for steels are toughness (impact), wear resistance (edge retention), and corrosion resistance and it is a balancing act between them when using a material for knives. CPM 3V has wear resistance (edge retention) that is comparable to the standard S30V. However, the toughness of CPM 3V
far exceeds all of the other common blade steels (by like a factor of 3). The trade off (remember that it is a balancing act) is that it has a lower chromium content and is not as stain resistant and corrosion resistant as the S30V. Before you have a heart attack about that fact and think that it will rust by looking at it, just remember that most guns are in fact NOT stainless steel. Whole bunches of folks have been killed with M1 Garands and 1911's that were not stainless steel. CPM 3V is still an alloy steel so will not corrode like a normal carbon steel. So take care of your gear and it will take care of you. CPM 3V is
THE hard use steel. For more information, download the
