Takumitak, a company with Chinese roots now residing in Ontario, California, has been specializing in making knives with chunky Full-Tang blades of all shapes and sizes for a number of years. Their aim is to offer the widest range of knives to meet the requirements of any demanding user.
This knife boasts a chunky 3.9mm thick blade made of 3cr13 stainless steel with an acid-etched coating that closely imitates damascus steel. The handle is wrapped with 550 paracord. This solution offers the advantage of a very comfortable and reliable grip, as well as the option to unwrap the paracord from the handle and use it when necessary. The package also includes a reliable 1680D nylon sheath, compatible with the MOLLE system.
FULL-TANG DESIGN
The Full-tang designation means that the blade and the internal part of the handle are made of a single piece, which greatly increases the overall durability of the knife and makes it very unlikely to snap in half.
BLADE MADE OF 3CR13 STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel called 3cr13 is the ultimate choice for everyday carry knives. With a lower hardness of HRC 54-56, it is easier to sharpen and thanks to its high chromium content, you don't have to worry about corrosion. In short, it is a great compromise between durability, easy maintenance and purchasing price.
Content: 84.03% iron, 0.3% carbon, 13% chromium, 1% manganese, 0.6% nickel, 0.04% phosphorus, 0.03% sulfur and 1% silicone
PARACORD 550
