Street Beat FRN/Kraton Black Blade, a shorter version of the legendary Perrin Street Bowie Black Blade. The model retains the same performance qualities as the full-size version, the only difference being a lower weight of 88g. Designed by Fred Perrin, former soldier / commander of the legendary French Army Commando. National Tae Kwon Do master and one of the best instructors of close combat and self-defence in Europe. Knife with a fixed head, used successfully on survival hunting expeditions or for self-defence.
The head - with a Bowie profile offers both strength and finesse, making it suitable for a wide range of cutting jobs. Covered with a non-reflective ceramic coating (Carbon Coated). Made from highly abrasion and damage resistant Japanese VG-10 tool stainless steel with good sharpness retention. Hardened to 59-61 HRC. Plain blade with Full Flat Grind provides strength and a pronounced taper towards the tip reduces weight and improves cutting edge geometry.
Handle - Injection moulded FRN handle made of glass fibre reinforced nylon (abrasion and crack resistant), fits very well in the hand, does not slip and can be easily operated in all conditions. Extended Jimping (textured grooves), a notched thumb rest on the back of the blade, works perfectly with the moulded Upper Jimping, a textured rest on the back of the handle for improved and comfortable grip. In the back of the handle a hole (lanyard hole) for the line.
Scabbard - protects against falling out and moisture, allows quick retrieval of the knife. The holster is equipped with a multi-position G-Clip with two adjusting screws, which allows carrying on a belt or on the equipment in six different positions. The case is made of hardened polymer, Kydex type material. Scabbards and holsters made of it are characterised by scratch and chemical resistance.
