NMV (AISI O2 1.2842) - a type of low-alloy cold working tool steel with better complex mechanical properties than carbon tool steel and has higher hardness and wear resistance. Since the steel AISI O2 contains a certain amount of vanadium 0.15%, the grain size is refined, and the steel's sensitivity to overheating is reduced. At the same time, the carbides are fine and evenly distributed. It is characterized by resistance to deformation in heat treatment, good cutting properties, high hardenability and considerable hardness. Applications include cutting, punching and stamping tools; pressed extrusions for the plastics industry, roll gauging tools. long taps, reamers, disc and disc knives for paper and leather, shear blades, guide rails.

Cerakote™ - a ceramic-based finish that can be applied to metals to improve a range of physical properties, including abrasion/wear and corrosion resistance. Thin-film non-reflective, low-friction matte protective coating resistant to heat, chemicals and impact. Provides durability and hardness.

Blade - extremely sharp with Drop Point profile, with marked belly, ideal for all kinds of work. Coated with black Cerakote™ coating, the Plain blade is derived with a high Flat Grind, the high grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The enlarged hilt protects the hand from slipping on the blade. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest.
