Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel , but with higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. 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. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - wide, Drop Point type finished with elegant satin finish. The expansive belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the wide blade converging toward 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 olive wood with a unique grain pattern, screwed directly to the blade, which provides a virtually indestructible construction. The rounded shape of the sheaths 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 lanyard hole, that 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.
