Gudy van Poppel started his career as a blacksmith, making blades for several decades. In the mid-1990s, he learned to forge his own Damascus steel. Gudy also makes all the parts for his knives himself, including screws and washers. He finishes his designs with natural materials like mammoth or walrus tusks and exotic wood.

Niolox - a tool steel with good edge holding and high strength. Hardened in the range of 58-60 HRC. It is characterized by aggressive cutting and good impact strength. The name comes from the element niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the steel's wear resistance. Niolox contains 0.7% of it. Easy to sharpen with moderate corrosion resistance, it contains 12.7% chromium (Cr). Manufactured by the German Lohmann steelworks.

Blade - Clip Point type finished with a bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles. Precision ground blade offers a balance between edge holding and chipping resistance. Plain blade with a pronounced belly and a high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife during precision work. The low descending lower section creates a guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade.

Handle - profiled grips made of Micarta, a virtually indestructible plastic that is insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges and the textured and textured surface improves grip confidence. The grip covers are attached to the shank with Torx screws. Fore Finger Groove, a deep cut under the finger prevents the hand from accidentally slipping on the blade.

Sheath - made of Kydex. Allows quick retrieval of the knife and protects it from falling out. The holster is equipped with a multi-position Tek-Lok attachment, allowing the knife to be carried on the belt vertically or horizontally.
