AUS-8 and Black PVD Coating

The blade is made of AUS-8 stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance and relatively easy edge maintenance. The Black PVD coating gives the surface a dark, uniform finish and provides an additional protective layer.

Drop Point, Single Edge, and Shark Fin™ Spine

The Drop Point profile combines a durable tip with a short, single Plain Edge. The distinctive Shark Fin™ spine helps identify the blade’s orientation and gives the design a distinctive profile.

Textured Polymer and Double-Sided Sheath

The steel handle section is coated with black textured polymer. The surface improves grip and comfort, while the molded retention sheath allows the knife to be carried on either side. A removable spring steel clip allows you to attach the knife to a belt or other gear.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for AUS-8 steel?

After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Before long-term storage, apply a thin layer of preservative, especially after contact with moisture, salt, or organic substances.

How do I sharpen the single edge of a Push Knife?

The edge should be sharpened at a constant angle, maintaining the blade’s factory geometry. Near the tip, it’s best to reduce pressure to avoid rounding the tip or altering the Drop Point profile.

What is the Shark Fin™ Spine used for?

The distinctive spine profile helps identify the blade’s orientation and provides a tactile reference point. Always make sure which way the cutting edge is facing before use.

How do you care for the textured polymer handle?

The handle can be cleaned with a soft brush and water mixed with a mild detergent. After washing, thoroughly dry the entire assembly, paying special attention to the areas where the polymer meets the steel body.

How do you set up the sheath and clip?

The sheath allows the knife to be mounted on either side, and the removable spring steel clip lets you adjust how it’s attached. Before carrying the knife, check that it’s securely held in place and that the clip is properly seated.
