The CMT-X5 is a result of a collaboration by Anthony Marfione and Butch
Vallotton. The CMT-X5 is the new and improved version of the 1996
chameleon, one of Mr. Vallottons’ original hand made double action
folders. The 2006 version has been remastered to enhanced performance
and reliability. At first glance, the knife appears to be manual action
but with a touch of its hidden release, this knife will snap open as an
auto. Its machined 17-4 stainless liners and carbon fiber handle scales
keep the weight to a minimum. The CMT-X5 comes standard with an
S30-V steel blade that will more than accomplish all necessary cutting
tasks. The CMT-X5 is also available in a manual action form.
