The steel blade is the proven BOHLER N690, a steel enriched with chrome, vanadium, molybdenum and cobalt, hardened to the hardness of 58HRC. The handle is made of Forprene, an elastomer that is in the "NATO standard" for resistance to extreme conditions, and is completely removable from the blade; this makes possible a thorough cleaning and maintenance of the knife.

Each knife comes with its own sheath, also of military origin, which does not take into account the rules of hygiene but ensures safe transport dell'affilatissima blade and protection from shocks that could reduce efficiency. We recommend to use it only for the transport and in the event of long periods of inactivity.
