N690Co - a high-cobalt 1.65% (Co), corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic stainless steel with 17.30% chromium (Cr), and additional elements such as molybdenum 1.10% (Mo) and vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide superior wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, it features an increased cobalt content of 1.50% (Co) to enhance structural uniformity. It is known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and long edge retention. Considered one of the best tool steels in the world, it is hardened to a range of 58-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - with Sheepsfoot profile, 2.0 mm thick, made of polished N690Co stainless steel , hardened in the range of 58-60 HRC. It should be mentioned here that the use of branded steel so highly hardened is something unusual, as even reputable companies usually use the simplest stainless steels. The Plain blade was derived with a Full Flat Grind, which, combined with the slight thickness of the blade, provides above-average cutting properties. The blade opens with a nail nick on the Blade. And here is another innovation, instead of a troublesome notch we have a hole in the wedge thanks to which opening is much easier.
Handle - grips in orange color. Made of temperature and mechanical damage resistant anodized aluminum. The distinctive texture of the Handle imitating the surface of a fragmentation grenade (Frag Pattern), in addition to visual value, makes the knife does not slip in the hand during use. The simple shape fits perfectly in any hand. The two-position clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up or tip-down position. In the back, a wide “eye” for threading a belay or decorative cord.
