Key benefits
- Long and narrow blade: Excellent for slicing, piercing, and precision tasks – ideal for those who need extra reach.

- Lightweight construction: Thanks to the FRN handle, the knife is exceptionally light despite its size.
- Reliable lock: The lockback is safe, durable, and easy to operate with one hand.
- Symmetrical design: Suitable for both right- and left-handed users thanks to the four-position clip and ambidextrous thumb hole.
- 🔴 Drawbacks
- Serrated edge: More difficult to sharpen and not ideal for fine work or precise slicing.
- Longer profile: The larger overall length may not suit everyone for everyday carry.
- Lockback mechanism: Less smooth to close than more modern locks (e.g. Compression Lock or Ball Bearing Lock).
- 🛠️ Maintenance and sharpening
- Maintenance: CTS-BD1N is corrosion-resistant – normal care is enough, including wiping after use and occasional lubrication of the pivot.
- Lubrication: A light mineral oil will help maintain smooth action.
- Sharpening: We recommend sharpening the serrated edge with special serration sharpeners or leaving it to professionals.
