Description
The pommels feature a lanyard hole and can also serve as a “less than lethal” percussion tool in a self-defense situation. Additionally, the hollow ground blades are honed by hand until they reach levels of sharpness only seen on a surgeon’s scalpel. They’re made from Japanese AUS 8A Stainless steel, then vacuum heat-treated and sub zero quenched for maximum toughness. The blades are coated with black Teflon® for corrosion resistance and to enhance cutting power and to improve edge retention by reducing friction. To compliment such exceptional blades we have paired them with our state of the art Tri-Ad® lock. In our testing, the Tri-Ad® has proved to be superior to any other lock on the market today in terms of overall strength and resistance to shock induced by blows on the spine (eclipsing virtually all locks in short order) or the even more devastating shock by over-strike that lands on the handle. Finally, to assure easy access, and swift operation, the AK-47’s come with an ambidextrous pocket clip and our new patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual purpose, it allows the knife to be drawn and quickly opened by snagging it on the edge of a pocket or it can be used like a conventional thumb stud or disc for easy one-handed opening. Blade Length: 3 1/2″ Blade Thickness: 3.5 mm Overall Length: 9″ Steel: Japanese AUS 8A Stainless w/ Black Teflon® Coating Weight: 5.5 oz Handle: 5 1/2″ Long G-10 Pocket Clip: Stainless Pocket / Belt Clip
