IBEX-8R a handmade, compact knife from the Spanish Muela manufactory. The goal was to create a handy but reliable knife with low weight for any outdoor use. Versatile, perfectly balanced with a full tang design with a blade made of X50CrMoV15 steel, it provides tremendous cutting power. Targeted at bushcraft, survival and hunting enthusiasts.
X50CrMoV15 (1.4116) - molybdenum-vanadium high carbon martensitic stainless steel, highly resistant to corrosion and wear. Used in the manufacture of knives, high-end cutlery and surgical instruments. It is characterized by a fairly high, for stainless steels, hardness of 56-58 HRC. The chemical composition of the steel was enriched by doping 15.0% Chromium, 0.80% Molybdenum, 0.20% Vanadium.
Blade - Drop Point type, 3.6 mm thickness with good mechanical properties and long-lasting sharpness. Smooth blade (Plain) was made with concave cut (Hollow grind). Satin Finish (semi-matt) that eliminates glare. Finger Choil, a profiled undercutting finger between the handle and the cutting edge facilitates control of the knife.
Handle - thick, profiled under the hand, provides a perfect grip during work. The brown linings are made of coral laminate - coral pakkawood. Covers twisted with torx screws. Spine Jimping ribbing of the notches on the handle increases comfort and grip.
Case - made of natural brown leather with embossed manufacturer's logo. The sheath was sewn on the edges with a decorative thread. Fastening to a belt or gear allows you to carry the knife in a vertical position.
