N690Co - a high-carbon stainless knife steel with added cobalt for structural uniformity. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Carbon (C) 1.07% and cobalt (Co) 1.65% make it a very hard steel. It has been vacuum hardened and then freeze hardened to a hardness of 58-59 HRC. At this level of hardness, it provides good cutting edge retention and excellent wear resistance. so the blades stay sharp longer. Due to its high chromium (Cr) level of 17.3%, blades made of this steel will not rust, even when used in damp, wet or salty environments. Manufactured at the Böhler-Uddeholm steelworks in Austria.

Blade - a wide, solid Drop Point blade with an elegant satin finish. Despite its thickness, the full flat grind provides excellent cutting properties combined with excellent durability. A low descending guard protects fingers from slipping on the blade while working. On the back of the blade a finger notch.

Handle - profiled with finger notches. Grips made of natural olive wood attached directly to the blank. This is the simplest and most reliable design that ensures the practical indestructibility of the knife. Olive wood is one of the hardest species, valued for its amazing grain texture. On the back of the Handle lanyard hole, a hole for a belaying or decorative rope.

Sheath - extended, protecting the Blade along with part of the Handle. Hand-stitched, made of high quality natural leather in brown color with embossed manufacturer's logo. The edge of the case was stitched with decorative thread. Fastened with a Prym type snap fastener. Attaching to the belt or to the equipment's shoulder strap allows the knife to be carried vertically or horizontally.
