PSF27 - made with technology Spray Form / spray molding, extremely strong tool steel with hardness 62 HRC, has good toughness, is relatively easy to sharpen. Similar to the particle metallurgy process, spray forming quickly solidifies molten steel into small particles. This creates a very fine, extremely homogeneous grain structure that is ideal for knife blades. Stop PSF-27 contains molybdenum 0.7%, vanadium 1.0%, carbon 1.55% and 12.0% chromium content, below the official threshold for stainless steel. The surface of the finished blade is slightly dull. Manufactured in steel mills Carpenter Technology Co.
Head - about the profile Bowie with a long straight edge (unsharpened bevel), offers both strength and finesse, making it suitable for a wide range of cutting jobs. Plain blade Plain with a clearly marked belly and flat full cut (Full Flat Grind) provides strength and precise cutting control with low friction.
Handle - profiled plastic facings G-10 Black, processed in 3D and smoothly polished to an attractive finish, provide a secure grip during use. The tang covers are attached to the shank with strong cylindrical rivets, which reduce weight and serve to pull the safety line through, and in an emergency situation allow you to attach the knife to a pole to create an improvised spear.
Vagina - allows you to quickly retrieve the knife, protects it from falling out and moisture. The holster is equipped with a multi-position handle G-Clip with two adjusting screws to allow carrying on a belt or on a mount. The case is made of thermoplastic material Boltaron, a newer generation thermoformable material with the same applications as Kydex. Scabbards and holsters made of it are characterized by greater resistance to scratches and chemicals. They are also tougher and can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations better than Kydex.
