AISI 420 (American Iron and Steel Institute) martensitic stainless steel rich in 0.15% carbon, containing min. 12% chromium, which offers high hardenability in the 54-56 HRC range as well as strength, toughness, machinability and excellent corrosion resistance. The high carbon content produces chromium carbide compounds for wear resistance and edge retention after hardening. Due to its high hardness, the steel is suitable for manufacturing cutting tools, knife blades and medical instruments.

Blade - with Clip Point profile, 2.0 mm thickness. Smooth blade (Plain type) was made with full flat cut (Full Flat) cut which in combination with the small thickness of the blade provides above average cutting properties. Knife opened with a notch on the blade (Nail Nick). Blade blockade: Safety Ring type.

Handle - simple, made of one piece of olive wood, provides a soft, warm grip. Ergonomic grip profiling does not cause fatigue during prolonged use. Easy-to-use patented lock - fixed metal locking ring - placed in the brass handle of the handle allows you to lock the knife with one hand, even when wearing gloves.
