Blade steel β Elmax (hardness 62 HRC):
Premium Elmax powder steel is valued for its outstanding cutting edge retention, high wear resistance, and fine-banding strength. A hardness of 62 HRC provides excellent blunt resistance, which is especially important in field conditions and during long cuts. Thanks to the complex alloying formula, Elmax is characterized by good corrosion resistance β the knife can easily withstand work in a humid environment, in the rain and near water with proper care.
Handle material β black hornbeam:
Selected black hornbeam wood is a classic of knife manufacturing, with high wear resistance and a pleasant texture. Hornbeam withstands moisture well, does not crack and retains its performance even in conditions of temperature differences. Thanks to the carefully treated surface, the handle provides a firm grip in both dry and slightly wet hands, preventing slipping during operation.
