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

14C28N - a martensitic chromium stainless steel - is the latest development in a range of knife steels produced by Sandvik's Swedish mills. An optimized chemical composition with a unique combination provides superior quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the amount of carbon 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen 0.11% (N), corrosion resistance has been significantly improved. Considered an improved version of 13C26 steel. Unbeatable in the price / quality category!

Blade - kiridashi type finished in an elegant Two Tone Satin / Stonewashed method. The straight cutting edge converges 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 be easily 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 proven Liner Lock.

Handle - blue G10 (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) facings, which were screwed to a black backspacer, also made of G10. Contoured covers eliminate sharp edges for a comfortable and secure grip. The simple, secure design gives assurance of years of use. Single-position (right) steel clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up (tip up) position.
