3Cr13MoV is a martensitic chromium steel that has been enriched with molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) to improve its performance properties. Typical chemical composition includes approximately 0.26-0.35% carbon (C), 12.5-14.5% chromium (Cr), 0.4-0.6% molybdenum (Mo), and 0.1-0.2% vanadium (V). The addition of chromium provides corrosion resistance, while molybdenum increases hardenability, high-temperature strength, and resistance to pitting corrosion. Vanadium contributes to increased hardness, abrasion resistance, and fine-grain steel structure. 3Cr13MoV is used for manufacturing knives (often found in folding and hunting knives), medical tools, and other applications where a good combination of corrosion resistance, hardness, and strength is required. It is an improved version of 3Cr13 steel, offering better edge retention and overall durability.
Blade - The spear point profile used in the blade offers good penetration and precision for basic tasks – from cutting ropes to minor technical work. Made of 3Cr13MoV stainless steel, the blade combines corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening. A satin finish has been applied, which emphasizes the utility of the knife and effectively masks minor scratches. The flat grind increases cutting efficiency and ease of guiding the blade. The symmetrical geometry allows for quick deployment of the knife regardless of the preferred grip, making the blade practical and versatile in terms of utility and emergency use.
Handle - Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene used in the handle offers low weight with high mechanical resistance. The textured surface and profiled finger cutouts ensure a stable grip in outdoor conditions. The absence of sharp edges and smooth contours increases comfort during prolonged use. The design lacks a clip or lanyard hole – maintaining a minimalist form that works well as a backup EDC knife. The set includes a black plastic sheath and a ball chain, which allows for convenient and safe wearing of the knife around the neck. The handle of model 32648 is an example of practical simplicity, durability, and functionality in a micro format – ideal for quick access in any situation.
