The
The apocalyptic finish process creates a unique distressed pattern on each blade through controlled corrosion. Popular among tactical professionals for non-reflective properties.
Series Heritage
The M-1 SL series was born from necessity. Special operations units needed a compact folder that could handle the stress of professional use while remaining concealable and fast.
"Each Apocalyptic finish is completely unique. It is an oxidation layer achieved through a special heating process. This technique reveals patterns that can never be replicated—making each knife truly one-of-a-kind."
