Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What type of steel is the blade made of?
A: The RUC-4015BK uses 5Cr15 stainless steel. This is a functional mid-range steel often used in kitchen and pocket knives because it resists rust well and is very easy to resharpen to a razor edge.
Q: Is this an automatic switchblade?
A: No, this is a spring-assisted knife. It does not open with a button press; you must manually start the blade opening using the flipper tab on the back. Once the blade moves past a certain point, the internal spring takes over to finish opening it. This makes it legal in many more jurisdictions than automatic knives.
Q: Does the orange ring serve a function?
A: The orange pivot collar is primarily aesthetic, giving the knife a modern, high-tech look and making it easier to spot if dropped in low light. It surrounds the main pivot screw which allows you to adjust the blade tension if needed.
