IBEX-8M 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 - extremely sharp Drop Point shape ideal for all kinds of hunting work. Satin smooth Plain blade with Hollow Grind for reduced weight and excellent cutting performance. The large finger choil makes it easy to guide the knife for precision work. For improved grip, the finger choil and a section of the back of the blade have been jimped.
Handle - made of grey-black micarta (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin). Chamfered edges on the covers eliminate sharp edges for comfortable grip. The covers have been screwed directly to the tang, making the overall construction very rigid and durable.
Sheath - hand-stitched, made of quality black cowhide with embossed manufacturer's logo. The edges of the case are stitched with decorative thread. Fastened with a Prym type snap. The belt attachment allows the knife to be carried in an upright position.
The Muela Group is now one of the leading companies in the field of handmade hunting knives, both in Spain and worldwide, and its knives and pocket knives are highly appreciated for their top quality workmanship.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
