Is it worth buying a stainless steel knife?
The head of the knife is made of the popular 440C stainless steel hardened to 57-59 HRC. Thanks to its increased carbon content, the steel is resistant to wear, retains its working sharpness for a long time, and sharpens relatively quickly and easily, which is important for an outdoor knife. The head is coated with a titanium protective coating, which further protects against corrosion and contrasts aesthetically with the wooden liners.
Functional blade
The knife has a slim blade with a spear-point profile, with a derived concave grind and a gently rounded belly of the cutting edge. The back and belly of the blade are symmetrical with respect to each other, creating a sharp and sturdy hilt. High penetration and good cutting properties make this type of blade often used in small edc knives and combat knives. A transverse milling has been made on the back, which allows you to rest your finger while working (thumb ramp).
Classic unfolding
The blade is unfolded in using two hands, with the help of a nail cutout. This classic solution has been used for decades in pocket knives, among others, and allows legal carry in most EU countries.
Locking blade
When unfolded, the blade is locked in place with a liner-lock mechanism. When the blade is unfolded, the role of the lock is played by a spring-loaded liner that rests against the back of the blade, thus preventing it from folding. Liner-lock is prized for its simplicity, reliability and heavy-duty durability.
Wooden handle
The knife has traditional walnut wood facings with a matte finish. The handle has a contoured shape, with a pronounced finger cutout, which effectively improves the knife's grip and comfort. The classic design is subtly broken up by the blue anodized clip and liners (reinforcing inserts) characteristic of the entire Blue Wood Knives series. To carry the knife, there is a leather case with a wide belt loop and a belt-pull fastener.
