Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel is hardened to an optimum hardness of 58-60 HRC , so it retains its high sharpness for a long time, has high mechanical strength and is also corrosion resistant.Due to its high vanadium carbide content, the steel is characterised by high toughness and wear resistance , as well as excellent cutting properties .Comfortable handleThe G10 green laminated sheaths are fixed to the spindle with titanium bushings.G10 is a lightweight glass-epoxy material characterized by high mechanical strength, moisture resistance and high temperature resistance.The profiled shape of the handle, the well contoured cross guard and the rough texture of the handle keep the knife firm in the hand and comfortable to use.The functionality of the sheath is enhanced by two accessories, a steel ring that allows the sheath to be fitted to the equipment and a side loop for the flint.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSheet informationBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Knife type fixed bladeSteel type stainless steel - S30V Additional informationThe guard is made ofCasing material composite - G10,Metal - TitaniumSheath material leatherCorrosion resistance highDull resistance okSheath isSheath type flatApplication (normal use)outdoor,survivalDimensionsTotal length [mm] 234Blade length [mm] 112,5Blade thickness [mm] 4.2Weight [g] 219IncludedKnife set parts Sheath warrantyGuarantee period Lifetime manufacturer warranty
