Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - solid with a thickness of 6.3 mm. Slightly curved, Modified Sheepsfoot with clearly marked blade belly. The blade is covered with a mate, non-reflective MIL-C-13924 BURNISHING coating. The Plain blade was derived with a high Flat grind for excellent geometry and strength as well as cutting properties. A "false blade" has been derived at the top for increased penetration capability of the knife. At the base of the blade a double-sided steel hilt to protect the hand from slipping on the blade during operation.
Handle - sand-colored covered with non-slip textured linings with rubber-like properties. Made of Forprene thermoplastic elastomer (flexible return, softness, chemical resistance), it guarantees a firm grip even with wet hands. Textured thumb ramp on the back of the handle. Steel head with an oval hole (lanyard hole) for pulling a lanyard or safety line, can act as a hammer / glass breaker.
Sheath - made of desert-colored Cordura with an insert, made of hardened polymer, allows safe carrying as well as quick retrieval of the knife. Mounting compatible with the M.O.L.L.E. system, plus space for mounting a leg strap. Next to the polymer insert a small storage compartment for a flint. The knife is protected from falling out by a flap closed with a silent Fastex.
