It features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC.

Blade - Clip Point (Bowie) type, similar in shape to a military assault knife. It has been coated with a black non-reflective Black Top Shield® coating. The belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the wide blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade and flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance.
Handle - grips made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) composite, a lightweight material, insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The texture of the material provides a comfortable and secure grip. At the blade, a double-sided guard prevents the hand from slipping on the Blade. Handle finished with a solid steel head which can be used as a glass breaker or hammer.
Sheath - made of kydex. Thanks to the innovative design compatible with the M.O.L.L.E. system, we can, for example, attach it to the accessory. In the lower part there is a hole for a cable attaching the sheath to the thigh.
