14C28N - martensitic chromium stainless steel is the latest achievement in the range of knife steels produced by the Swedish steelworks Sandvik. An optimized chemical composition with a unique combination 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 nitrogen at 0.11% (N), corrosion resistance has been significantly enhanced. 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. Vacuum Heat Treatment involves hardening the steel 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 finish.

Blade - Clip Point type. Finished with the Blackwashed method, which masks minor scratches. The long, slender 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 guarantees excellent cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth and seamless operation of the blade-extending mechanism. The flipper tab forms a mini-guard when opened, preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade. The knife can be opened in two ways, including via a milled hole in the blade. The blade spine features upper jimping, a serrated thumb rest. Locking mechanism: Liner-Lock.

Handle - G10 composite scales, a virtually indestructible material, weather-resistant, chemical-resistant, and resistant to mechanical damage, are bolted to the steel knife frame. The beveled edges of the scales eliminate sharp edges, and the textured surface improves grip. The so-called open-backed construction, held together by stainless steel spacer sleeves, reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. The simple, solid construction ensures many years of reliable use. A deep forefinger groove improves grip security.

The pivot is adorned with a stylized screw. A two-position (right/left) metal deep carry clip allows you to discreetly carry the knife in your pocket in the tip-up position (blade tip facing up). Above the clip is a lanyard hole, a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.
