It is made using D2 grade steel, the hardness of which corresponds to 58-60 Rockwell units. The hardness of about 60 units is considered to be quite good, in practice, there are no models with an indicator of more than 65. This is due to the fact that very hard metal becomes more brittle, and for the knives, such quality is not desirable.

The alloy has a high level of carbon and chromium in its composition, is resistant to corrosion, as well as all sorts of loads and mechanical stress.

It has impact resistance, strength, moisture resistance. It can be easily dyed and the required processing. The design of 10 centimeters length handle is provided with a hole for a lanyard and a fully removable belt clip. The blade could be removed either by a small hole for the thumb at the base or by flipper with anti-slip cuts. The blade is fixed due to the presence of steel lock of a Liner-Lock type.
