- The Ylvi Black G10 is a small neck knife from the Böker Plus series with an extremely durable construction and remarkable design. The kydex sheath can be worn around the neck or attached to a belt.
The Ylvi Black G10, Stonewashed is a small, massively built neck knife with a fixed blade of full tang construction. Designed by Midgards Messer, a company founded by Dirk Hofmeister specializing in the design of handy tactical knives combining Nordic mythology with contemporary outdoor knives.
D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. With a high 13.0% chromium (Cr) content, it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.
Blade - Sheepsfoot type blade with a thickness of 4.7 mm. Made of D2 tool steel, characterized by high hardness and good blade retention. Plain blade, was derived with Flat Grind, providing excellent cutting properties. The blade was finished using the Stonewashed method. A notch (jimping) was made on the back of the blade for more secure thumb placement.
Handle - made of black G10 composite attached to the tango with screws. Thanks to the full-width holes made in the handle, both a reduction in the weight of the knife and improved grip security have been achieved. At the back of the handle is a lanyard hole, which is a hole for a safety or decorative cord. On the right side is a removable clip that allows the knife to be carried hooked to the edge of a pocket or belt.
Sheath - flat, made of kydex, with holes on the edges for multi-position mounting of a belt holder or neck chain.
Böker Plus - the most advanced series of knives in the Böker range. The biggest names in the knife industry were invited to collaborate on the design. The range includes fixed blade knives, folding knives, automatic knives and a wide range of accessories needed by every knife lover. Modern materials, German quality, all this makes the knives of the Böker Plus series trusted by customers.
