NMV (AISI O2 1.2842) - a type of low-alloy cold working tool steel with better complex mechanical properties than carbon tool steel and has higher hardness and wear resistance. Since the steel AISI O2 contains a certain amount of vanadium 0.15%, the grain size is refined, and the steel's sensitivity to overheating is reduced. At the same time, the carbides are fine and evenly distributed.

The enlarged hilt protects the hand from slipping on the blade. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest.
