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.
Sheepsfoot, Flat Grind, and Bead Blasted
The Sheepsfoot profile provides good control over the cutting edge and is well-suited for precision tasks. The flat grind ensures smooth gliding of the blade through the material, while the bead-blasted finish gives the blade a matte, technical look.
Blue Micarta, Full Tang, and Kydex
The handle is made of blue 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.
