The 70.0 mm blade features a Clip Point profile, a flat grind, and a matte bead-blasted finish. Its 4.0 mm thickness gives it a solid feel, while its 97.0 g weight keeps the knife compact and easy to handle.
Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic Heat Treatment
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N steel, hardened to 60–62 HRC. Vacuum hardening combined with cryogenic treatment was used, which helps achieve high hardness, wear resistance, and stable steel properties during regular use.
Clip Point, flat grind, and bead-blasted
The Clip Point profile provides a well-defined tip and versatile cutting geometry. The flat grind ensures smooth cutting through material, while the bead-blasted finish gives the blade a subdued, matte appearance.
Brown Micarta, Full Tang, and Kydex
The handle is made of brown Micarta and mounted on a Full Tang construction, in which the blade tang extends the entire length of the handle. The grips are secured with bead-blasted steel screws.
The knife comes with a black Kydex sheath and the TEK-Lok system, which allows for convenient attachment of the sheath to a belt or other gear.
