Clumsy tourist knife Grand Way 2498.
.
No, you heard right - tourist, only with a clearly emphasized military design. The nuances of our legislation are such that there is only one step from permitted to prohibited, and in a specific case it is 0.3 mm of thickness in the butt.
.
The blade of the knife is of the "clip-point" type with descents from the middle. A characteristic difference between such blades is a more pronounced point. Matte anti-reflective coating is not only a design but a featureYes, but also additional protection against corrosion. Two fullers on the blade are not only and not so much a tribute to the design and development of an aggressive appearance, but a structural element that provides transverse rigidity of the blade with a thickness of 2.3 mm. Steel 440C used on the blade has been optimal for the production of cutlery in terms of price-quality ratio for almost half a century. The obvious advantages of this material are high corrosion resistance and the ability to maintain the properties of the cutting edge for a long time without periodic sharpening.
.
The handle of the knife is made of stabilized wood. Stabilized wood is obtained by removing moisture from wood blanks and filling their capillaries with special polymer solutions. Further, the blanks are sent to the kiln for drying, after which the wood becomes very durable and no longer reacts to changes in temperature and humidity conditions, while maintaining all its best qualities. Very often, such wood is confused with plastic - it becomes so strong and hard. ManualIt has an oval section and is equally convenient for direct and reverse grip of the knife.
.
The fine notch applied to the handle adds frictional properties to it and looks very cool! To prevent the destruction of the wooden part of the handle, during the operation of the knife, it is protected from the end with a metal butt, which can be used as a striking surface. From the side of the blade, the handle is protected by a bolster with developed stops, which, in fact, turn the bolster into quite an effect.active guard.
.
The developed ricasso on the blade makes it possible to work with a knife with a short grip, which allows very precise control of the knife edge. Working with a short grip, you will understand the purpose of the protrusion with a notch on the butt of the blade, this is not a decoration at all, the thumb rests on this protrusion, and the notch is quite appropriate there.

Very nice and thought out to the smallest detail model of a tourist knife
