Niolox - tool steel with good edge holding and high strength. Hardened between 58-63 HRC. It is characterized by aggressive cutting and good impact strength. The name comes from the element niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the wear resistance of the steel. Niolox includes it 0.7%.

Head - solid with profile Drop Point and thickness 5 mm with a clearly marked belly of the cutting edge. Satinized smooth blade Plain brought out full flat grind (Full Flat Grind) provides strength and the tapering of the blade towards the tip reduces weight improving the geometry of the cutting edge. On the back of the wedge upper jimping, notched thumb rest.

Enlarged protrusion acts as a gut protecting the hand from slipping on the blade.
