Böhler N690 with a hardness of 58 HRC
The blade is made of Böhler N690 steel, hardened to 58 HRC. This steel combines good corrosion resistance, edge retention, and properties suitable for professional-grade utility knives.
Spear Point, flat grind, and MIL-C-13924 burnishing
The Spear Point profile provides a symmetrical, robust geometry with a distinctly defined tip, while the flat grind facilitates versatile cutting. The blade is finished with a black MIL-C-13924 Burnishing finish, giving the surface a subdued, technical look.
Forprene, pliers, and integrated tools
The black handle made of Forprene was designed as part of a multifunctional system. Its two-piece construction works in conjunction with the integrated pliers, which can be used to grip objects and cut wire, wire fences, and steel cables.
The tip of the tool is equipped with a tungsten carbide inlay that functions as a glass breaker. A dedicated sheath protects the blade even when using the pliers and allows for quick, silent deployment of the knife.
