Ostap Hel - a talented Polish knifemaker and designer. His designs are based on the fundamentals of geometry, smooth transitions and the concept of "golden proportion". He is not afraid to experiment with new shapes and ideas to fit the unique style and production capabilities of the company he designs for.

Civivi - a sub-brand of WE Knife, a company that produces knives of the highest global quality. Production is on the same production lines as WE, so the highest standard of assembly is maintained.

Nitro-V a new chrome-based martensitic stainless knife steel introduced by New Jersey Steel Baron (NJSB). The manufacturer used the existing superior AEB-L knife steel and upgraded it with nitrogen and vanadium to improve edge performance and achieve high hardness and extreme corrosion resistance, especially crucial in the marine industry and humid environments. Nitro V can be used in diving knives because of its resistance to staining and corrosion. The recommended working hardness is between 58-62HRC, and it has very good impact strength compared to other steels. It is harder than stainless powder steels such as M390, Elmax and S35VN. Therefore, Nitro-V will be a good fit for knives that require good strength.

Double Detent Slip-Joint - a "no lock" non-locking mechanism used in folders in which the wedge is held open by spring pressure on a flat section at the back of the blade shank during use. The Slip Joint holds the blade in both the folded and unfolded positions. When folded, it generates a smooth resistance as in a knife equipped with a traditional locking mechanism. To avoid accidental opening during handling, the blade is held in the closed position by two Double Detent steel balls, one on each side of the blade.

Blade - drop point type finished with a scratch-masking Black Stonewashed finish. The generous belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The small thickness of the blade combined with a high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened with a front flipper. As a result, it can easily be used by right- and left-handed people. To maintain full control of the blade, the back of the blade is covered with an upper jimping, notched thumb rest. The whole thing is locked by a simple and allowed in many countries Double Detent Slip Joint lock.

Handle - black G10 (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) facings, which were screwed to steel liners. Contouring of the liners eliminates sharp edges for comfort and sure grip. The so-called open-backed design without the typical backspacer, fastened together with steel spacer sleeves for easy cleaning. The simple, secure design gives you the confidence of years of use. The deep-carry, two-position (right/left) clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position (tip up).

Case - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
