About presented Crowbar “FuturePunk” Knife
Durable steel as the core of the knife construction
Presented Crowbar is made of one piece of Vanadis 4 Extra steel. It is a full-tang knife. The steel used in knifemaking process is an extremely hard and durable material, resistant to overload, abrasion and chipping, known for its amazing sharpness. Due to its properties, steel is often used in the production of tactical knives intended for work in various, often extreme conditions.
To enhance its resilience and protect against corrosion, the knife boasts a black DLC coating. This Diamond Like Carbon coating, boasting a remarkable hardness of approximately 90 HRC, fortifies the steel and enhances its anti-reflective properties.
Grinds and blade shape for efficient cutting
The knife blade has been profiled in the drop point style. This design helps to make the best use of the really large blade. It should be noted that the slightly curved design of the knife (arc from the end of the handle to the tip of the blade) in combination with a properly profiled, undercut handle gives the whole a more aggressive character and, if necessary, allows you to better use the force put into a sweeping cut when chopping, for example, a larger piece of wood, etc. A curiosity in the execution of the knife is the innovative hollow grind. It is visible at first glance in the form of characteristic grooves on both the correct blade and the false blade. The concavity of the cut is very subtle and, in addition to the visual effect, is designed to support the cutting process (it reduces the effect of the material sticking to the blade and facilitates splitting of the material).
On the back of the blade there is a jimpig, which makes it easier to press the blade of the knife to the material being cut. This element enables precise cuts, makes it easier to guide the cutting edge along the material and helps with cuts that require pressure.
Exclusive knife handle
Shape of the handle
The slender and neat oval of the handle fits very well to each hand. Its subtle profiling helps to prevent your hands from slipping over the cutting edge. The rounded spine protruding on each side of the handle makes holding the knife comfortable and secure.
At the end of the knife handle there is a hole for attaching an additional cord, which can be used as a protection against dropping the knife during work, or an additional gripper that facilitates removing the knife from the holster. Originally, it includes a section of paracord with a shade matched to the design.
Handle materials
Grips of the handle are made of G10 composite. G10 is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, most solvents and acids, has a high resistance to mechanical damage. G10 in the knife has a rough structure that prevents the handle from slipping in the hand.
The handle covers have been screwed together with steel screws. The screws complete the knife’s design, elegantly matching the style of blade.
