Design by Molletta, designed by well-known, respected Italian designer with many years of experience. Michele Pensato (a.k.a.

Niolox - a tool steel with good edge holding and high strength. Hardened in the range of 58-63 HRC. It is characterized by aggressive cutting and good impact strength. The name comes from the element niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the wear resistance of the steel. Niolox contains 0.7% of it. Easy to sharpen with moderate corrosion resistance, it contains 8.5% chromium. Manufactured by German Lohmann steelworks.

Blade - massive with Drop Point profile and thickness of 5 mm with clearly marked belly of the cutting edge. Satin smooth Plain blade with Full Flat Grind provides strength and tapering of the blade towards the tip reduces weight while improving the geometry of the cutting edge. On the back of the wedge upper jimping, notched thumb rest.

Handle - covered with convex grip covers made of exotic Santos wood. Profiled and 3D machined for better ergonomics, provide a secure grip. Enlarged protrusion acts as a hilt protecting the hand from slipping on the blade. Mounted with Torx T8 stainless steel screws, the liners can be removed to make an improvised spear knife.

Scabbard - extended, protecting the blade together with part of the handle. Made of natural leather in brown color with embossed producer logo. The holster is fastened with a Prym type clasp. The holster is sewn on the edges with decorative thread. Mounting to the belt or to the equipment allows you to carry the knife in an upright position.
