Very pleasant knife. The only drawback is the steel, which at this price could be a bit better. The size is perfect to carry this model as an EDC knife. The sheath is very practical.

N690
N690 is a high-quality stainless steel produced by the Austrian company Bohler Edelstahl, characterized by an excellent balance of functional properties. It is comparable to VG-10 steel, but offers even better parameters. It contains approximately 1% carbon, which ensures high hardness, and 17.3% chromium, which guarantees very good corrosion resistance. In addition, it contains cobalt (1.5%), molybdenum (1.1%) and vanadium (0.1%). After proper hardening, it achieves a hardness of 58-61 HRC, providing the right combination of strength, durability, and ease of sharpening. The steel is distinguished by its high corrosion resistance, even in difficult, humid conditions, and good resistance to dulling. N690 is used in the production of knives of various ranges, both lower and higher, offering very good value for money.
G10
G10 is a lightweight and extremely durable material, considered one of the best for knife production. It is created by pressure-pressing fiberglass with phenolic resin, which gives it high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is chemically inert, does not conduct electricity, and retains its properties at both low and high temperatures. In terms of parameters, it is similar to carbon fiber, but its production is much cheaper. G10 handles are manufactured by precision cutting and cutting, which increases the cost of processing but ensures a perfect fit and long knife life.
