Folding knife EDC((Every Day Carry) with historical and collectible value. The steel used to make the tool was obtained from the wreckage of a German tank Tiger I from Schwere Panzerabteilung 502, destroyed in Latvia near the town of Bauska in the summer of 1944. After ballistic analysis, it was determined that it was shelled by a Soviet T-34 and a self-propelled anti-tank gun SU-76.
The knife was designed by American knifemaker Chad Nichols. The blade has a Clip-Point profile and is made from mosaic forged Damascus. The "Interpid" pattern on the blade is designed to resemble tank tracks. Mosaic Damascus technology involves forging packages of carbon steel (both soft and hard) without creating layers as in classical Damascus.
It is opened using a dual thumb stud. The blade is locked with a proven Frame Lock. The opening process has been refined and accelerated by the inclusion of a ball bearing in the knife's main axis, resembling a tank track gear.
The lower scale of the handle is made from steel finished with the Stonewash, method giving it a matte effect. The upper scale from Micarta is textured with grooves. The knife is equipped with a spring clip (in a tip-up/r position) ending with a ball. At the end of the handle, there is a hole through which a cord or lanyard can be threaded.
A decorative case is included with the knife along with a certificate of authenticity. Each piece features an individual serial number. The knife was handcrafted in the famous factory in Solingen.
