The Camillus Cirque folding knife is a durable option regardless of the conditions you might face with it. G10 handles are impervious to moisture or liquid and maintain great stability under rapidly shifting conditions due to the rigorous manufacturing process required to make such a material, involving baking and compressing layers of highly durable fiberglass. AUS-8 offers a balance between toughness, edge sharpness and corrosion resistance to compliment the handle's durability and versatility. To enhance the base strength, the AUS-8 steel is bonded with Carbonitride Titanium can resist rust and corrosion unlike any other material and it makes the blade up to 10x harder than untreated steel so the edge can remain sharp across countless cuts.
