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

Vacuum & Cryogenic - 14C28N steel undergoes a specialized heat treatment process comprising two key stages. During Vacuum Heat Treatment, the steel is hardened in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the steel’s strength and structural integrity. Cryogenic Treatment: After heating, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -100°C (-148°F). This transformation converts residual austenite into martensite, significantly increasing hardness, wear resistance, and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, 14C28N steel delivers exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and remarkable blade durability.

Blackwashed - a blade finishing method that combines two techniques. Black Coating - a protective, non-reflective black coating. Stonewashed - after the coating is applied, the blade undergoes a process that gives it a slightly aged, satin-matte appearance and effectively masks minor scratches and marks caused by use. The final result is a unique, aged look with a matte, dark finish that is both stylish and practical. It is a more aesthetic variant of the classic black stonewashed.

Blade - drop point type, finished with the Blackwashed method, which masks scratches and prevents glare. The long cutting edge, with a pronounced bevel, tapers toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The blade thickness ensures high durability, while the high, flat grind provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth and seamless operation of the mechanism and assist in opening the blade using a quick index-finger flipper, which doubles as a crossguard when open. On the spine of the blade, upper jimping provides a textured thumb rest. Liner-Lock mechanism.

Handle - G10 grips (glass fiber pressed under pressure with synthetic resin), textured for improved grip, bolted to the steel knife frame. The so-called open-backed construction, without a typical backspacer, secured together with steel spacer sleeves, facilitates cleaning. The simple, solid construction ensures many years of reliable use. A deep fore finger groove improves grip security. Two-position (right/left) steel deep carry clip allows for discreet carrying of the knife in a pocket in the tip-up position (blade tip facing up). Above the clip is a lanyard hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.
