Actual analysis of properties and features
Blade Steel: Elmax (63 HRC)
The blade is made of premium Elmax powder steel, which has proven itself well due to its high hardness (63 HRC), exceptional wear resistance and excellent cutting edge retention. This steel is resistant to corrosion even in contact with moisture and aggressive environments, which makes the knife an ideal companion for everyday use (EDC), as well as for outdoor work, hiking, hunting and fishing. Elmax is easy to sharpen with special tools, despite its hardness, but requires careful movements to avoid discoloration of the edge.
Handle material and ergonomics: Green acrylic
The acrylic handle is distinguished not only by its striking design – the rich green color attracts attention, giving the product personality – but also by its pleasant tactility. Acrylic is resistant to moisture and household chemicals, does not absorb dirt and does not swell, which makes it easier to care for. The shape of the handle ensures comfortable holding of the knife in a dry and wet hand, however, under extremely wet or oily conditions, the grip is slightly inferior to natural and textured materials.
Dimensions and balance
The 72 mm long and 2.4 mm thick blade combined with the 90 mm handle makes the knife extremely compact — it easily fits in a pocket or small case without burdening the user. Due to its balanced design, it is convenient to manipulate it during filigree work.
Scabbard: Leather
They are equipped with classic leather scabbards, which ensure reliable fixation of the knife and convenient transportation.
