MKM Knife Goccia Black G10, Satin M390 by Jens Ansø (MKGC-GBK)

Goccia Black G10, Satin. When Danish knifemaker and knife designer Jens Ansø showed his custom model Neo, it became the dream of the "perfect knife" for many knife lovers. In cooperation with MKM, a top quality production version of this model called Goccia was created. Goccia means "drop" in Italian and is meant to symbolize the first water-powered hammers in the forges that started the knife industry in Italy. The name is also reflected in the concentric ellipses carefully milled on the handle facings that are mesmerizing with their changing surface textures.

M390 - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - satin drop point blade mounted on a ball bearing provides opening speed and smoothness much better than pad based solutions. Flipper flipper which opens the knife has been slimmed so that it does not stick out above the line of the handle. After opening it creates a mini-guard preventing the hand from slipping on the blade. Thickness of blade provides high strength while high, flat grind guarantees excellent cutting properties. The generous belly of the blade extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the head converging towards a needle sharp tip.

Handle - two plates of black G10, perfectly milled on 3D numerical machine in elliptical circles. Here the mastery of Jens Anso's design is revealed, the handle is perfectly ergonomic, and the elliptical circles, in addition to the aesthetic function, also play a practical role, increasing grip security. On the inside, in the milled out facings there is a steel skeleton of the knife, with Liner Lock. In the back massive titanium backspacer with characteristic Jens Anso lanyard hole. Backspacer and decorative collar around the pivot in blue anodized titanium. Right-handed, one-position titanium deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in tip-up position.

Carrying case - comes with an elegant pouch made of Cordura with the manufacturer's logo with the possibility to strap it to your belt.
