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 Blackwashed
The Clip Point profile ensures a well-controlled tip and versatile cutting geometry. The flat grind facilitates smooth blade glide through the material, while the blackwashed finish gives the blade a dark, rugged appearance and minimizes the visibility of minor wear marks.
Yellow Ultem, Full Tang, and Kydex
The handle is made of yellow Ultem and mounted on a Full Tang construction, in which the blade tang extends the entire length of the handle. The grips are secured with steel screws coated with black PVD.
The knife comes with a black Kydex sheath. The set also includes a TEK-Lok attachment, which allows you to conveniently attach the sheath to your belt or gear.
