Muela Full Tang Black Micarta, Satin X50CrMoV15 (IBEX-8M)

IBEX-8M a handmade, compact knife from the Spanish Muela manufactory. The goal was to create a handy but reliable knife with low weight for any outdoor use. Versatile, perfectly balanced with a full tang design with a blade made of X50CrMoV15 steel, it provides tremendous cutting power. Targeted at bushcraft, survival and hunting enthusiasts.

X50CrMoV15 (1.4116) - molybdenum-vanadium high carbon martensitic stainless steel, 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 56-58 HRC. The chemical composition of the steel was enriched by doping 15.0% Chromium, 0.80% Molybdenum, 0.20% Vanadium.

Blade - extremely sharp Drop Point shape ideal for all kinds of hunting work. Satin smooth Plain blade with Hollow Grind for reduced weight and excellent cutting performance. The large finger choil makes it easy to guide the knife for precision work. For improved grip, the finger choil and a section of the back of the blade have been jimped.

Handle - made of grey-black micarta (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin). Chamfered edges on the covers eliminate sharp edges for comfortable grip. The covers have been screwed directly to the tang, making the overall construction very rigid and durable.

Sheath - hand-stitched, made of quality black cowhide with embossed manufacturer's logo. The edges of the case are stitched with decorative thread. Fastened with a Prym type snap. The belt attachment allows the knife to be carried in an upright position.

The Muela Group is now one of the leading companies in the field of handmade hunting knives, both in Spain and worldwide, and its knives and pocket knives are highly appreciated for their top quality workmanship.
