X60CrMoV15 (MoVa 60) - a high-carbon molybdenum-vanadium martensitic stainless steel with a higher carbon content than steel 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15). Highly resistant to corrosion and wear. Used in the manufacture of knives, high-end cutlery and surgical instruments. It is characterized by a fairly high, for stainless steels, hardness of 57-58 HRC. The chemical composition of the steel is enriched by doping 15.0% chromium (Cr), 0.80% molybdenum (Mo), 0.20% vanadium (V).

PTFE Black - widely used in the coating industry, polytetrafluoroethylene is an ultra-fine, low molecular weight product processed through a special process. It is characterized by excellent chemical and weathering and temperature resistance, thermal stability, non-stickiness, electrical insulation, fire resistance and self-lubrication. Thanks to the use of polytetrafluoroethylene as a blade coating material, friction during use is reduced, thus reducing the need for force during all kinds of work. PTFE-coated blades provided 22% lower average force and 26% lower maximum force compared to chrome-coated blades.

Blade - Drop Point type, 3.6 mm thickness. Smooth blade (Plain) was made with a concave cut (Hollow grind), provides good cutting properties. Black, scratch-resistant, matt, non-reflective PTFE coating. Thumb Stud and Flipper allows quick opening knife. Blade blockade: Liner-Lock type.

Handle - in desert color, ergonomic, profiled under the fingers. Covered with textured facings made of PTB polymer reinforced glass fiber, it provides a secure grip even with wet hands. Notching on the back of the Spine Jimping handle increases comfort and grip. The knife is equipped with a solid torx screwed metal clip that allows you to move the knife in the tip-down position. In the back of the handle was placed a gap for mounting a security cable.
