DPx Gear
Leggaro means light in Italian. High-performance car makers went to Italy to fine-tune their high-performance cars, but we were already there. The famous hard use folder engineered, tweaked, tuned, and perfected into an ultra-light, ultra-strong, all Titanium alloy flipper.
The blade steel is Bohler Uddenholm M390 Clean Steel. The bearings are specifically tuned IKBS, the hardware is DPx Gear's exclusive American 7/64 hex.
Imagine everything you wanted in a hard use folder, but lighter, faster, and, well...sexier. When your EDC needs to be ultra-light, ultra-strong, and DPx Gear.

Titanium Handles
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
M390
A go-to option for premium knives. Made by Bohler-Uddeholm, this 3rd generation powder-metal alloy offers high edge retention and excellent stainless properties.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Flipper mechanism not the best
Looks good but opening the blade should be a bit easier on a knife at this price point. There seems to be an engineering issue since the position on the flipper fails to transfer enough force for the blade to swing al the way up without creating additional momentum with the arm. I will play with it a bit more and hopefully I figure it out but never had a issue this pronounced in any of my knives.
