O2 Bohler K720 tool steel
Forged from high-carbon O2 Bohler K720 tool steel and hardened to 59 HRC, the blade delivers exceptional strength, outstanding crack resistance, and impressive edge retention thanks to the synergy of premium materials and precise heat treatment. With easy sharpening capabilities even in demanding outdoor environments, the steel is ideal for knives designed for bushcraft and wilderness applications.
Drop-Point profile, semi-flat grind
Engineered with a Drop-Point blade profile, this knife offers a durable tip, straightforward maintenance, and excellent slicing performance. The blade measures 105 mm in length and has a thickness of 3.3 mm. Secure handling is provided by a well-contoured lower grip featuring a pronounced finger groove and a textured section beneath the thumb on the spine. A semi-flat grind along the cutting edge further enhances cutting efficiency.
G10 laminate scales
Rugged G10 laminate handle scales deliver outstanding water resistance and exceptional mechanical durability. Featuring an anti-slip texture and ergonomic finger grooves, the grip offers reliable security and comfort in any situation. A lanyard hole is integrated into the rear of the handle for added versatility.
