Nitro-V stainless martensitic chrome-based 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.

Blade - Kukri type finished in an elegant Satin method. Plain blade, high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Extremely high and long belly increases cutting efficiency, false blade increases piercing properties. The large choil makes the knife easy to maneuver for precision work.

Handle - G10 plastic grips (fiberglass compressed with synthetic resin) in black, with a slightly rough surface. The profiled shape provides a comfortable, secure grip even with wet hands. The fore finger groove made on the front improves grip security, while creating a guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. In the back a protruding piece of tango, which can be used as a glass breaker or self-defense tool. A hole for a decorative or safety line.

Sheath - made of kydex, extended, protecting the Blade along with part of the Handle. A set of holes on the edges provides multiple trouncing options. Complete with a ball chain for hanging the knife around the neck.
