MUELA Cuchillo IBEX-8.OL madera Olivo

Manufacturas Muela has been manufacturing high performance pieces for hunting and bushcraft activities for more than 60 years with a personal seal: quality of materials used and first class products . Both properties are reflected in this Ibex Olivo , as it is a really special knife.

Steel 440 / MoVa

The full tang blade of the knife Muela Ibex Olivo is developed with this type of alloy that has a structural composition suitable to withstand environments with high corrosion and rust . In addition, it will exhibit resistance to impact and also to wear and tear due to fatigue in prolonged and continuous use.

Moreover, the 440 is a steel that has a great quality-price ratio , since it is a type of material very easy to work, but it has been treated through a really spectacular thermal process with which it has been obtained a very powerful edge with a great maintenance and re-sharpening of the same.

Its composition is 0.65-0.75% carbon, 1.00% manganese, 16-18% chromium, 0.04% phosphorus, 0.03% sulfur, 1.0% silicon and 0.75% molybdenum. Its typical hardness is 56HRC.

Handle

The developers of Manufacturas Muela have chosen a natural handle made of olive wood , which in its external structure presents a truly exotic and unique finish. This is due to the irregular grain of the tree, as each piece of cutlery made with this material will be different.

In addition, in the internal properties of olive wood you can find a quite dense material , ideal to resist all kinds of stress work without weakening the knife. In addition, it is a natural type of handle waterproof which gives the knife a chemical stability under almost any weather conditions.

Blade

Versatility, versatility and variety of cuts : these are the three defining characteristics of the knife Muela Ibex , as it incorporates a blade profile Drop Point , which is characterized by a convex curve near the tip. This blade shape allows all types of cuts under positive and negative pressures, including by machete-type impact .

In addition, this knife will be protected from accidental separation of the blade and the hilt, thanks to its full tang . The large straight edge that this magnificent Spanish piece has will greatly increase the working surface, so the user will be able to make deep incisions with control and cleanliness .

Sheath

The transportation of the Muela Ibex will be comfortable, practical and safe , since the designers of Manufacturas Muela have equipped this piece with a leather sheath in brown with the manufacturers logo. Also, this top quality holster can be adjusted to any belt for use in hunting or bushcraft .
