Featuring premium CPM-MagnaCut blade steel in the Battlewash finish, the 4300BK-02 and 4300BK-03 CLAs update this ever-present automatic for a new generation. With a robust design and a push-button automatic mechanism, this knife provides quick, easy deployment and reliable performance in any setting.
