If you’re looking for a knife that has a robust, stainless steel blade with excellent edge retention and a very special “A-Joint” opening mechanism, then the Amare Paragon is the knife for you. With its brilliant design and meticulous construction it’s an elegant eye-catching folder.
The “A-Joint” mechanism developed by Amare Knives has several distinct advantages over traditional slip joints. The mechanism of the A-Joint involves a two-legged spring (in the form of a dragonfly wing). The upper arm of the spring, which holds the blade in place when opened, is thicker and stronger than then lower arm, which means you can open the knife easily and very quickly. Because the spring is located on the side of the handle rather than the spine, the knife can accommodate a larger blade than a traditional slip joint. The A-Joint is also extremely safe to use: Spring tension holds the blade firmly in place in the opened or closed position, but there’s no guillotine effect when closing the blade.
The blade of the PARAGON is made from N690 stainless steel, an extremely high quality steel from Böhler. It is a stainless high-alloy steel developed especially for the food industry and for corrosion resistant knives with demanding cutting tasks. N690 has a relatively high amount of carbon for stainless steel, around 1 percent. For this reason N690 is harder than most of the stainless steel alloys on the market. It cuts very well and can also be easily sharpened to an extremely fine edge.
The PARAGON has G10 handle scales. G10 is a tough material perfectly suited to a hard working tool like the Paragon.
