W 1.4116, X50CrMoV15 - molybdenum-vanadium steel used for high-end knives, cutlery and surgical instruments. It is characterized by a fairly high hardness, as for stainless steels. Resistant to corrosion under kitchen conditions. It is a recommendable alternative to 1.4034 / X46Cr13 / 4H13 material. The chemical composition is enriched with Chromium content, Molybdenum and Vanadium addition.
Regular maintenance of W 1.4116, X50CrMoV15 stainless steel prevents the formation of deposits and maintains its shine. It also facilitates the removal of spots and tarnish. Cleaning should be done before there is a visible layer of dirt or fingerprints, so the danger of permanent discoloration of the steel surface is minimized. For cleaning, do not use agents that contain: chlorine, salt, acids and bleach.
Blade - with a thickness of 2.5 mm. Serrated blade of Serrated type was derived with Full Flat grind. The saw blade consists of alternating one large and three small teeth, the so-called three-step. This pattern increases the length of the cutting edge by up to 24% compared to a straight blade. Ideal for cutting hard materials, plastic and fibrous ropes - enables efficient cutting with considerable force. Robust Back-Lock. Opened by means of a milled notch in the wedge (Nail Nick).
Blades - additional features:
- 65 mm long main blade with saw and wire bender, Back-Lock lock.
- Shackle-maker (sailor's wrench) for loosening/tightening shackles
- marshmallow skewer for untangling tightened knots, making splices on ropes

Handle - in a bright Marine Blue color that makes it easy to find quickly. Covered with non-slip textured facings with rubber-like properties, made of thermoplastic elastomer, also known as TPE thermoplastic rubber (guarantees a firm grip in an aquatic environment), combined with PP polymer. The ergonomic shape of the facings prevents the hand from slipping while working. In the back of the handle, a hole for a rope.
