Ostap Hel - a talented Polish knifemaker and designer. His designs are based on the fundamentals of geometry, smooth transitions and the concept of "golden proportion". He is not afraid to experiment with new shapes and ideas to fit the unique style and production capabilities of the company he designs for.

Real Steel Knives - founded in 2013 in Hangzhou, China. Over time, RSK has become a leading knife manufacturer not only in China offering a wide range of products. It collaborates with well-known designers, including those from Poland, to produce aesthetically pleasing and durable knives. An extremely important channel of information for the company is contact with fans, who through their support and feedback constantly develop the offerings. The company's mission is to revolutionize the knife industry to always deliver the best possible quality and service.

VG-10 - a grade of stainless tool alloy steel created in Japan specifically for making premium blades and knives. The steel's recipe was created by Takefu Special Steel co. Ltd, whose headquarters are located in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture. Initially used in the production of kitchen knives, it quickly found use as an excellent material for utility blades. Due to import restrictions, almost all knives made of VG-10 steel are produced in Seki, Japan.

Slip-Joint - a "no lock" non-locking mechanism used in folders in which the wedge is held open by spring pressure on a flat section at the back of the blade shank during use. The Slip Joint holds the blade in both the folded and unfolded positions. When folded, it generates a smooth resistance as in a knife equipped with a traditional locking mechanism.

Blade - Drop Point type with black PVD coating. The curved cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Phosphor bronze washers are responsible for the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, allowing the knife to be opened with a long thumb notch ideal for both right and left-handed users. The knife is held in the closed position by a slip-joint spring, so its possession and carrying is allowed in many countries that have a ban on locking knives.

Handle - made of G10 (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin), textured for improved grip confidence. The solid backspacer provides rigidity and strength to the whole structure. The simple, sure-footed design of this knife gives you the assurance of years of use. The two-position (right/left) deep-carry clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upward.
