The UPK-M2 Lite offers the design features of the original UPK-M2 with a lightweight and economical high strength 7075-T6 handle set and a blade made in one of the most optimized blade steels available, Sandvik 14C28N.

Blade:
Hand ground and hand finished blade made in Sandvik 14C28N Stainless Steel Heat treated and Cryo treated HRC 60-61.  The finish is micro ball peened using ultra high density beads to create surface compression, a process that improves resilience to scratches and offer anti-fatigue properties.


Handle Finish: Hardcoat Anodized 7075-T6 Aluminum

   Made in the strongest Aluminum Alloy practical to make a handle from, the 7075-T6 Aluminum boasts a tensile stregnth of 74 ksi which is well into steel strength territory.  The hardcoat anodize is a military specification thickness of anodize that provides a high strength skin of Aluminum oxide to improve durability and scratch resistance over standard anodize aluminum parts. 

Available in Black, Navy Blue and Dark OD Green, the handles offer a stark contrast to the Blades micro peened surface.
