Aitor 16048 NATO Bowie Magnum Belt knife, 8.25″ SS Plain Blade, OD Green Polymer Handle, OD Green Nylon Sheath

Product Description

Aitor NATO Bowie Magnum Belt knife

The modified V-ground Bowie-style blades with a long clipped-point have been fashioned from 5-mm thick stainless bladesteel that features an aesthetically pleasing worked back. Each blade has a generous section of straight edge for slicing, a sweeping skinning edge up to the tip and an excellent piercing point. Every blade is engraved with its own unique individualised serial number.

Aitor utilizes stainless steel that includes in its chemical analysis carbon (inox) 1.50 and chromium 13, which is not dissimilar to 440C stainless bladesteel inclusions, but with better features. Heat treatment (hardening & tempering) is between 56RC & 58RC (Rockwell hardness). Each Aitor blade bears the RC test punch mark as part of the quality control process.

The round palm-filling handle, like the Green Line pocketknives, is of a durable olive-green drab nylon. The chequered bulbous grip is furnished with a uniquely-designed cross-guard and a hooked butt-cap with thong-hole, thereby ensuring the knife stays firmly in the hand for all the hard tasks its called upon to perform. A matching green hard nylon sheath is fitted with a webbing belt loop with quick-release facility and a knife retaining strap.
