The Mantra 3 takes the proven style and functionality of the original design and expresses it in a practical, everyday carry format. Its full-flat ground, leaf-shaped blade is precision machined from CPM-S30V stainless steel and opens equally well with either its fully accessible Trademark Round Hole or its index finger flipper. Special ball-bearing washers between the blade and the handle's nested stainless steel liners guarantee a silky smooth action, while carbon fiber/G10 laminate scales offer a positive grip and a home for the knife's high-strength Compression Lock mechanism. They also house its deep-pocket wire clip, for a choice of left or right-side, tip-up carry.
