TheElite Force EF166 is a classic-style edc knife with a 440A steel blade , slip-joint safety mechanism and contoured G10 laminate facings. An edc knife with very good value for money!
Hard stainless steel
The full-length 85mm-long blade is made of hard 440A stainless steel, which has high resistance to damage and corrosion. 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 spear-point blade with a concave grind and a gentle curve. Thanks to this design, the knife penetrates easily and provides good cutting performance.
Slip-joint safety mechanism
The Elite Force EF166 uses a slip-joint mechanism, which acts as a partial locking mechanism that holds the blade in place in both the folded and unfolded positions. Because the blade can be folded using negligible force, the slip-joint is not formally considered a locking mechanism.
The blade is unfolded in with two hands, using an enlarged nail cutout. This classic solution has been used for decades in pocket knives, among others, and allows legal carry in most EU countries.
Secure grip
The element responsible for the knife's comfort is the lightweight G10 plastic facings. This is a glass-epoxy laminate, which is characterized by low weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature change, as well as to many acids and solvents.
The profiled shape of the lining and fine checkering make the knife fit securely and comfortably in the hand. Thanks to the high-set clip, the knife can be carried discreetly in the pocket of the pants (in tip-down position), on the belt or on the belt.
