Excellent Vanadis 4 Extra Steel: Unleash the Power of Supreme Durability and Performance

Known for its exceptional durability, the full tang construction is renowned as the strongest and most resilient type of fixed-blade knife construction. The foundation of this knife is forged from the renowned Vanadis 4 Extra steel, a remarkably tough and resilient material that exhibits excellent resistance to overloading, abrasion, and chipping. The steel’s meticulous hardening process, tailored specifically to the knife’s dimensions, further enhances its performance. Additionally, the blade is coated with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, renowned for its exceptional hardness comparable to that of a diamond (~90 HRC). This coating not only reinforces the blade but also renders it chemically non-reactive to acids and alkalis, providing protection against corrosion. Moreover, the DLC coating enhances the knife’s camouflage capability, preventing light reflection during nighttime use and offering an anti-reflective property.

Its capabilities extend to demanding tasks such as wood battening and piercing. The knife’s ergonomic handle enhances its maneuverability, incorporating a textured section near the blade for additional finger support during precise or forceful cuts. A similar textured notching is present on the back of the blade, serving as an alternative or supplementary grip for two-handed pressure if desired. To prevent hand slippage onto the cutting edge, especially crucial with compact-sized knives during more challenging work, the knife is equipped with a steel hand guard profile covered with micarta. This feature ensures a secure grip and reliable handling, allowing for vigorous use when needed.

Its non-slip and textured structure further enhances grip and control during use. The linings are secured in place by through-pins, serving both as attachment points and as anchors for an additional cord. This cord can serve as a safeguard against accidental dropping of the knife during work or as an auxiliary grip for easy removal from the holster.

Included Kydex Holster: Secure and Convenient Protection

The knife is accompanied by a holster crafted from hand-molded Kydex material, known for its exceptional durability and scratch resistance. This material exhibits low moisture absorption and remains resilient in various weather conditions and exposure to chemicals. To enhance ease of use, the holster features a thumb support, allowing for controlled and secure removal of the knife. The holster can be conveniently attached to a belt using a robust nylon grommet.
