Hot forging is the reason the Sting is so tough. It begins life as an ordinary blank of 1050 carbon steel, similar to the alloy used in traditional Samurai swords, which is first hot forged and then precision ground into final shape. After heat-treating and normalizing to improve the grain structure, the Sting is then heat treated and quenched to achieve hardness, and tempered to arrive at an optimum hardness with excellent strength. While the Sting is very tough, low alloy steels do not have the rust resistance imparted by the chromium and nickel in stainless steels, So CRKT applied a black non-reflective powder coat finish to stop corrosion.

The Sting integral handle is contoured to fit the bare or gloved hand nicely and provides heft and balance, with thumb detents for grip. A large lanyard hole is provided, allowing the use of a wrist lanyard, or carry as a neck knife. With a new Cordura multi-carry sheath with a Zytel liner. This quiet and strong design is very light and has belt loops that allow it to be carried vertically or horizontally. In addition, two Velco leg straps are included, allowing the Sting to be carried high or low on the leg, and in a variety of carry positions on gear.
