Muela Desert Rubber, Black PTFE 420H (MIRAGE-18NM)

MIRAGE-18NM a large field knife with a massive sharp blade for tremendous cutting power and a comfortable handle. Versatile, perfectly balanced, aimed at bushcraft, survival and hunting enthusiasts.

420H - a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel with an increased carbon (C) content of 0.17% to 0.23%, also containing chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) offers high hardenability in the 54-58 HRC range, as well as strength, toughness, machinability and excellent corrosion resistance. The high carbon content produces chromium carbide compounds, providing wear resistance and edge retention after hardening. Due to its high hardness, the steel is suitable for manufacturing cutting tools, knife blades and medical instruments.

PTFE Black - widely used in the coating industry, polytetrafluoroethylene is an ultra-fine, low molecular weight product processed through a special process. It is characterized by excellent chemical and weathering and temperature resistance, thermal stability, non-stickiness, electrical insulation, fire resistance and self-lubrication. Thanks to the use of polytetrafluoroethylene as a blade coating material, friction during use is reduced, thus reducing the need for force during all kinds of work. PTFE-coated blades provided 22% lower average force and 26% lower maximum force compared to chrome-coated blades.

Blade - Clip Point type with grooves and false blade. Coated with black, scratch-resistant, matte non-reflective PTFE coating. Manufactured from 420H stainless steel with higher carbon content and high impact strength, hardened between 54-58 HRC. Concave grind (Hollow Grind), partially serrated combo type blade. At the base of the head, a steel double-sided hilt prevents the hand from slipping on the blade.

Handle - covered with a flexible moled elastomer lining in desert color. Soft rubber handle guarantees a very good grip, the knife does not slip from the hand, and a strong and secure grip allows you to perform precise work with the blade. In the back of the handle an enlarged hole for a cord.

Scabbard - in desert color, made of waterproof nylon. fastened with a snap closure allows you to carry the knife safely. The edges of the scabbard are stitched with decorative thread. On the front the embossed inscription Muela Tactical Knives. The holster has a belt or equipment attachment, allowing the knife to be carried in an upright position. In the lower part of the case there is a paracord cord allowing the scabbard to be clipped to the thigh.
