Brand new, direct from Spyderco.

Blade: A thin, sub-1/16″ blade is made from nitrogen-enriched CTS-BD1N stainless steel in a full flat ground and an edge of SpyderEdge Serrations. The acute point is perfect for detailed cutting tasks while the serration pattern dramatically increases the functional length of the cutting edge and stays sharper significantly longer than conventional edges. SpyderEdge Serrations are excellent for soft foods like tomatoes as well as tougher, fibrous items like steak.

Handle: A durable red polypropylene is injection molded directly onto the tang of the blade to form a tough handle that is nearly impervious to the hazards of food preparation. The handles are molded with a pebble texture for enhanced traction when wet and contoured for comfort. The offset handle design delivers a similar feel to the traditional chef knife, offering plenty of clearance from the cutting surface, while pairing with the thinner blade for a wide range of cutting tasks.

CTS-BD1N: BD1N is a high Carbon, high Chromium, Nitrogen-Enriched stainless steel from Carpenter. It offers a working hardness, up to 63HRC, while retaining good toughness and edge stability. CTS-BD1N works well as a knife steel with a fine grain, high corrosion resistance and respectable edge holding ability as well as being capable of handling a thinner (12-15 DPS) cutting geometry.
