Blade - Drop Point type finished with elegant satin finish. The elongated 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 the flat grind give excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Notched section of the Blade's back, the spine jimping ramp positions the thumb, giving solid support, making it easier to operate the knife.

Handle - made of Carbon Fiber composite, a virtually indestructible plastic that is insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage, screwed directly to the blade, which ensures extraordinary durability of the construction. The rounded shape of the covers eliminates sharp edges. The unique ergonomics of the Handle allows the knife to be held both ways, especially for users who appreciate an inverted grip. On the back of the Handle a lanyard hole, which is a hole for attaching a belaying line.

Sheath - when designing, great emphasis was placed on the ease of carrying and retrieving the knife. Sheath is a flat, lightweight sheath made of high-quality leather, with a safety patch and the ability to hang it on a belt.
