Elite Force EF166 is a knife in the classic EDC style, the blade is made of 440A stainless steel. The safety mechanism is slip-jointed and the profiled sheath is laminated G10 . The steel used has a lower retention (ability to maintain sharpness), which perfectly compensates for the ease and speed of sharpening. The blade has a matte black finish, referring to the style of tactical knives. The knife has a concave cut and a gently curved spear-tipped blade. Thanks to this structure, the knife penetrates easily and provides good cutting parameters.Sliding locking mechanismThe Elite Force EF166 uses a sliding mechanism that acts as a partial lock, holding the blade in both the retracted and extended position. Due to the fact that the blade can be folded with little force, the slide is not formally considered a lock. The blade can be unfolded with two hands by means of an increased fingernail cut. This classic solution has been used in pocket knives for decades and is legal to carry in most EU countries.Firm gripThe lightweight sheath made of G10 material is the key to the comfort of working with the knife. It is a fibreglass-epoxy laminate characterised by low weight, high mechanical strength, water resistance, heat resistance and a high resistance to acids and solvents.The profiled shape of the lining and the fine grids keep the knife firm and comfortable in the hand. Thanks to the high-securing clasp, the knife can be carried discreetly in a trouser pocket (in the down position), on a belt or on gear.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSheet informationBlade profileSpear pointKnife type foldingKnife type nail cuttingSteel type stainless - 440 Additional informationClip for carrying onBlade material composite - G10Corrosion resistance highDull resistance shortCut type concave Application (normal use) EDCMeters Overall length [mm] 200Blade length [mm] 86Weight [g] 71.
