D2 is an extremely tough steel that is very close to stainless, has excellent corrosion resistance, incredible edge retention, and holds an edge even after tons of hard use. To enhance the benefits of D2 even more, we used a Cryo treatment and coated it with a tumbled Titanium Nitride (TINI) coating.

If you've never handled a Rapid Fire grip, it's very comparable to the beefy ZT (Zero Tolerance) 0303 knife (without the heavy price tag). The bottom line, it's a comfortable and confident four-finger grip, with or without gloves. The scales are secured with non-strip T8 torx screws for added toughness.
- ♨️DEEP CARRY: Rapid Fire knives are on the large side of EDC but don't carry as such. The Rapid Fire knives ride deep in your pocket, the clip can be worn left or right with tip-up carry. Even with its large size, you'll forget it's there...until you need it. If you want to carry on your left side, the clip is removable by unscrewing the T6 torx screws and moving the clip for left-side carry. **PRO TIP: Check out the Off-Grid Knives BULLET torx tool.
