German Steel

This knife uses German stainless steel, a premium metal that boasts exceptional hardness, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding durability.

HRC 57±1

The knife boasts a HRC rating of 57±1, reflecting the official Rockwell Hardness rating of the metal.

A higher rating signifies greater hardness, meaning the blade will maintain its edge longer and resist dulling over extended use.

X50 CrMoV15

Constructed from X50 steel with 0.5% carbon content, which is hot forged and ice hardened.

Raising the HRC rating to match that of a 0.7% carbon blade or X70 steel, ensuring superior edge retention and durability.

Ice Hardening

The cryogenic process dramatically changes the molecular structure of the base metal.

After the knife had been forged, it is subjected to a dramatic temperature decrease of minus 70C° for up to 3 hours.

Resulting in a blade featuring sharpness and outstanding edge retention.

Triple Riveted Handle

The full-tang, triple-riveted handle offers great durability and strength by extending the blade’s metal through the entire handle.

Furthermore, by improving balance and control, moreover, the secure rivets ensure a firm, comfortable grip that additionally stays tight over time.
