Rugged tactical knife featuring full-tang construction, where the tang runs the entire length of the handle. Manufactured in Poland using high-quality materials and semi-finished products sourced from Polish suppliers.
The blade features a drop-point design and is crafted from NMV (O2) carbon steel, hardened to 58-59 HRC for exceptional strength and excellent edge retention. Cerakote Elite ceramic coating is applied to the blade, boosting corrosion resistance. For enhanced control during use, jimping on the blade spine ensures reliable thumb placement.
Ergonomically contoured handle scales are constructed from lightweight, robust brown micarta. The textured surface delivers a solid grip even when hands are wet or dirty. A hole at the handle’s end accommodates a safety lanyard or strap.
Durable molded plastic sheath with versatile mounting holes offers secure and adaptable attachment to a belt, backpack, or gear straps for safe and convenient carry.

The knife was on sale. There were visible damages to the protective coating on the blade. There should have been a discount, not a “promotion.” The handle shape is poor. The material is good but the shape is mediocre. A large knife for a small hand? I can't judge the steel. But a damaged coating and selling it as a promotion... Damaged and badly made kydex sheath. I know 435 is not premium. But I still expected that the sheath wouldn't be... Deformed.
This is one of the better, if not the best, knives for the forest. It's perfect as a single universal tool that's always worth having with you in emergency situations. I recommend it to anyone who is undecided.
A so-called workhorse knife. Excellent for heavy camp work, but it also does well in food preparation. I highly recommend it to everyone, because it's really worth it.
Brilliant bushcraft knife, perfect for heavier tasks such as chopping or batoning, the cutting edge stays sharp for a long time, the knife is well balanced and holds steadily.
Good survival knife, without Chinese frills. The sheath holds well, the knife does not fall out. For a survival knife, it's even nice looking. There could be more handle colors to choose from.
Great knife. The workmanship is of a very high level. It's nice to work with. You can chop with it, it carves sticks excellently, and does other woodwork tasks. Thanks to the high grind, it handles food well too.
Great knife, very sharp, not too short and not too long, not too heavy, works well, feels secure in the hand, plus a great Kydex sheath, I recommend it.
