Hid OD Green G10, Black Stonewashed, a large, innovative folding kitchen knife designed by Polish knifemaker, Ostap Hel. A wide Rewerse Tanto blade made of 14C28N stainless steel that performs perfectly in humid environments, a comfortable G10 composite handle , an excellent helper not only in the kitchen.

Ostap Hel - a talented Polish knifemaker and designer. His designs are based on the fundamentals of geometry, smooth transitions and the concept of “golden proportion”. He is not afraid to experiment with new shapes and ideas to fit the unique style and production capabilities of the company he designs for.

Civivi - a sub-brand of WE Knife, a company that produces knives of the highest global quality. Production takes place on the same production lines as WE, so the highest standard of assembly is maintained.

14C28N - martensitic chromium stainless steel is the latest development in the range of knife steels produced by Sandvik's Swedish mills . An optimized chemical composition with a unique combination provides superior quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the amount of carbon 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen 0.11% (N), corrosion resistance has been significantly improved. Considered an improved version of 13C26 steel. Unbeatable in the price/quality category!

Nested Liner Lock, a modification of the liner-lock by nesting the liner of the locking mechanism in the grip.

Blade - Reverse Tanto type , finished masking minor scratches with a bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles and then covered with a black coating. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearing ceramic supports the smooth operation of the opening mechanism of the wedge, which can be opened with a double-sided pin in the wedge (dual thumb stud). On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. The whole is locked with a solid nested liner lock. The line of the cutting edge falls below the bottom edge of the Handle, so you can effectively work with the knife on a cutting board without painfully bruising your knuckles.

Handle grips - grips made of G10 composite , a virtually indestructible material, insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. Aggressive surface texture for comfort and sure grip. Open-backed design reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. Simple, secure design provides assurance of years of use. Two-position (right/left) wire clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).

Case - the knife is packed in a zippered soft nylon case with the brand's logo. It is used for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
