N690 - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with the addition of molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural homogeneity. Features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Achieves hardness 57-60 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Head - type Spear Point with a clearly marked belly, finished with an elegant Satin. The small thickness of the blade in combination with a high, flat grind which provides durability, excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Pads are responsible for the smooth and smooth operation of the opening mechanism of the blade, which can be opened with an obilingual peg (Thumb Stud) which makes it easy for both right and left-handed people to open the blade with one hand. Notched supports: thumb ramp on the back of the head (spine jimping) and (finger choil), index finger undercut make it easier to control the knife.

Handle - made of Carbon Fiber (carbon fiber compressed under pressure with synthetic resin). Bolted to a steel frame, which means the practical indestructibility of such a structure. The rounded shape of the facings and backspacer eliminates any sharp edges. Application in the manufacturing process of machine tool covers CNC guarantees the maintenance of high quality of manufactured elements.
