M390 - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - extremely sharp with Drop Point profile, with marked belly, ideal for all kinds of work. The satin-smooth Plain blade is derived with a high Flat Grind, the high grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The enlarged hilt protects the hand from slipping on the blade.

Handle - covered with beautiful olive wood grips with a unique grain pattern. They provide excellent ergonomics and a secure grip. The symmetrical design of the Handle allows you to hold the knife both ways, especially for users who appreciate an inverted grip. Flat shank helpful for starting a fire with a flint, emergency can act as a hammer or glass breaker, in addition lanyard hole, rope hole.

Sheath - extended, protecting the Blade together with part of the Handle. Hand-stitched, made of natural brown leather with embossed manufacturer's logo. The edges of the holster were stitched with decorative double stitching. Fastened with a Prym type snap fastener. Attaching to a belt or a mount allows to carry the knife in an upright position.
