Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic Treatment
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N steel, hardened to 60–62 HRC. Vacuum hardening combined with cryogenic treatment promotes high hardness, wear resistance, and stable steel properties.
Sheepsfoot, flat grind, and Blackwashed
The Sheepsfoot profile provides good control over the cutting edge, while the flat grind offers versatile performance. The blackwashed finish gives the blade a dark appearance and minimizes the visibility of minor signs of wear.
Blue Micarta, Full Tang, and Black PVD
The blue Micarta handle is mounted on a Full Tang construction. The grips are secured with steel screws coated in black PVD, which complement the blade’s dark finish.
The set includes a black Kydex sheath and a TEK-Lok, which allows you to conveniently attach the knife to your belt or gear.
