Description

Crucible® CPM® REX® 45 is a super-high-speed particle metallurgy tool steel enriched with large volumes of cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium. Its high cobalt content increases the steel’s attainable hardness and enhances the positive properties of the steel’s other alloys. The addition of vanadium promotes the formation of vanadium carbides, which provide high wear resistance, fine grain size and increased toughness.

A true steel connoisseur’s blade material, REX 45 is an ideal steel for this prestigious Native 5 Lightweight Sprint Run produced in our USA factory. To further distinguish this unique steel, all REX-45-bladed models feature a distinctive burnt-orange handle color.

Orange Beast!

Posted by Lee on 20th May 2020

I'm just starting to get into knife collecting and was a bit skeptical of the color when I first saw this in the reveal. I am happy to say that I actually like the color and all the other features of this knife. I was looking for a 3" lightweight knife that can take a beating and this is definitely it. I love the ergonomics, size, blade shape, and look. Knife shipped quick and came with a nice orange microfiber cloth. This was my first purchase with national knives and it was an absolute pleasure. Thank you Rob!

Another great addition to the Spyderco Native blood line. Pocket friendly, can handle any everyday cutting task, and looks good too! I am a return buyer at National Knives. They stock outstanding products at a fair price.
