Misericordie - from <franc. Misericorde, merciful> from <language. Misericordia, act of mercy>. A narrow knife used in the Middle Ages to deliver the final blow to knights who received mortal wounds in battle.

N690 - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural uniformity. Features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. It achieves a hardness of 57-60 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - sharp Spear Point type, 4 mm thick with a blood groove (making the knife even lighter) and a ¾-long false blade that increases piercing properties. Milled from stainless steel, the blade is finished with a stonewashed finish that masks minor scratches. On the back of the blade a short notched thumb rest (upper jimping). At the base of the blade a one-sided notched hilt to protect the hand.

Handle - sand-colored facings made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), fiberglass-reinforced nylon. Finished with a large back ring / tail ring / pommel ring with a multifunctional skull crusher spike. Precisely contoured ring allows the use of martial arts techniques, can be used to strike specific points on the body, allows a solid grip preventing the knife from slipping when the going gets tough.

Sheath - in the color of the handle. In designing the knife for professional use, great emphasis was placed on ease of carrying, access and retrieval. The knife is attached to the sheath with a quick-release fuse (snap), which can be easily reversed allowing the holster's handling to be adjusted for both right- and left-handed users. The trigger-like snap allows for quick, instinctive knife extraction and keeps the knife from falling out. The openwork holster makes it easy to dry the blade. A system of two adjustable multi-position clamps allows quick attachment of the sheath under the straps of the M.O.L.L.E. system.
