Stainless steel sheepsfoot blade

The blade is made of 1.4116 stainless steel and is characterized by good cutting properties and relative hardness. For the sake of its properties, it is used in the production of surgical instruments, kitchen knives and cutlery. The blade with a flat grind has been profiled in the sheepsfoot style, useful, for example, when cutting material at the ruler. The whole has a black Idroglider finish. It is a scratch-resistant, matte non-reflective coating made of PTFE.

Opening and lock

Opening the knife is done by means of a front flipper protruding from the blade or with both hands. The unfolding of the knife is supported by phosphor bronze washers. The knife has a stable and durable lock to protect against accidental liner lock (AISI 420 Stainless Steel).

FRN handle

The handle covers are made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a durable and lightweight material. A backspacer was made of the same material, in which a hole was placed for connecting the key ring (a key ring with a steel wheel is included). The whole was screwed with stainless steel screws (AISI 304 Stainless Steel).

Stainless steel clip

A Tip-Up style fastening clip located at the end of the knife handle allows you to move the closed blade with the top up. The clip is made of stainless steel (AISI 420J2B Stainless Steel).
