High Speed D2 - high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. With a high 13.0% chromium (Cr) content, it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.

Blade - Drop Point type finished masking fine scratches using Stone Washed method. Precision ground blade offers a balance between edge holding and corrosion resistance. Plain blade with a pronounced belly and Full Flat Grind provides durability and the pronounced taper of the blade toward the hilt reduces weight.

Handle - molded G10 plastic liners in black. Machined in 3D and smoothly polished to an attractive finish, they provide a secure grip. An additional nylon cord was wound on the handle. The grip covers are attached to the shank with strong cylindrical rivets, which reduce weight and are used to pull the safety line, and in an emergency situation allow you to attach the knife to a pole to create an improvised spear.

Sheath - made of kydex plastic. It allows quick retrieval of the knife and protects it from falling out and moisture. The holster is equipped with a multi-position handle with three adjustment screws, allowing it to be carried on the belt or on a mount. On the side is a small flint holder.

Fire Starter - an easy-to-use, reliable flint is included. The fire starter consists of a rod (spark) with magnesium that burns at a very high temperature. Ideal for quick fire starting in any conditions.
