Nitro-V chromium-based stainless martensitic knife steel introduced by New Jersey Steel Baron (NJSB). The manufacturer used an existing superior knife steel AEB-L and upgraded it with nitrogen and vanadium to improve edge performance and achieve high hardness and extreme corrosion resistance, especially crucial in the marine industry and humid environments. Nitro V can be used in diving knives due to its resistance to staining and corrosion. The recommended working hardness is in the range of 58-62HRC, has very good impact strength compared to other steels. It is harder than stainless powder steels, such as M390, Elmax i S35VN. Therefore Nitro-V will be a good fit for knives that require good durability.

Head - Drop Point with a clearly marked belly finished with the method of Stone Washed, covered by grey coating. The small thickness of the wedge, combined with the high, flat grinding gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth and smooth operation of the blade ejector mechanism, which can be opened with pins on both sides Thumb Stud of solid titanium 6AL4V. Finger choil, index finger undercut between the handle and the cutting edge, and upper jimping notched section of the back of the blade under the thumb make it easier to control the knife. Nested Liner-Lock, liner-lock modification, which involves nesting the liner of the locking mechanism in the liner.

Handle - mottled green pieces of plastic G10. Open design tzw. open-backed fixed to each other by steel sleeves spacers reduces weight and makes cleaning easier.
