M390 Microclean® - highest quality modern tool steel. Manufactured using powder metallurgy technology with extremely high corrosion and abrasion resistance. High chromium (Cr) steel 20.0% and doped with vanadium (V) 4.0%. Hardened to between 59-61 HRC. The steel was subjected to vacuum and cryogenic and double tempering. Manufactured at the Austrian smelter Böhler-Uddeholm.

PVD (Physical Vapor D(eposition) a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of a workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation, followed by condensation of the. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.

Head - type Drop Point with a clearly marked belly has been finished with a matte coating PVD. The small thickness of the blade in combination with a high, flat grind gives us an extremely effective cutting tool. Spine jimping, notched support on the back of the head and the finger choil, index finger undercut for precise control of cutting direction.

Handle - is the result of ergonomics research, despite its size, provides a firm grip. Made of laminate Canvas Micarta, riveted directly to the blank, provides a virtually indestructible structure. The curved shape of the covers eliminates sharp edges. On the back of the handle an enlarged lanyard hole, i.e. the hole for attaching the belay cable.

Vagina - in the design, great emphasis was placed on the ease of carrying and retrieving the knife. Flat, lightweight holster made of plastic Kydex. Complete with UltiClip, practical multi-position clip suitable for attaching to your pocket or up to the waist since.
