PREMIUM MATERIALS, 100% MADE IN THE USA: The original Mordax was one of Ferrum Forge’s most popular designs. Usually the custom knife shop only makes limited batches of each knife—but thanks to our strong partnership and the Massdrop community’s demonstrated interest in their work, we’re bringing the Mordax back, this time with a few key changes to make it even better. The original Mordax was made from titanium; here, we chose super lightweight aluminum scales to make it even more pocket friendly. For the blade, we stuck with what worked: premium CPM-20CV stainless steel with exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. HEAVYWEIGHT STATURE, LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION: Measuring 8. 25 inches long, the Mordax is our largest project yet with the San Diego–based Williamson brothers of Ferrum Forge. Despite its size, the knife weighs less than 4 ounces thanks to the aluminum scales. That lean construction makes it easy to control in tight spaces—not to mention there’s a finger choil for choking up if the job requires it. The 3. 6-inch drop-point blade is as versatile as they come, whether you need to slice through cardboard, cut twine, or prepare food. Fitted with a deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip, the knife keeps a low profile. ABOUT CPM-20CV STAINLESS STEEL: CPM-20CV can withstand wear under the most demanding circumstances. Developed by Crucible Industries (one of the leading manufacturers of specialty steels for the cutlery industry), it’s made through a process known as Crucible Powdered Metallurgy, which results in near perfect consistency in the distribution of carbides. Compared to conventional melting practices, the CPM process produces a steel characterized by superior dimensional stability, grindability, and toughness. Nearly identical in chemical makeup to M390 and CTS-204P stainless steel, CPM-20CV is known for its impressive ability to hold an edge and high resistance to corrosion.
