It is one of the best steels currently available on the market. It has a hardness between 58 and 61 HRC , of the Rockwell Scale , making it a blade of very high hardness to resist large impacts of all types of material and cuts of all types.

Its composition is 0.62% carbon, 0.2% silicon, 0.6% manganese, 0.025% phosphorus, 0.010% sulfur, 14.0% chromium and 0.11% nitrogen.

Handle

Spanish developer Muela has designed a handle made with green Micarta handles with brass ferrule. Micarta, also known as Phelonic or Celeron, is a high performance industrial material . The main characteristic of this material is its high resistance to impacts from all types of terrain and electrical insulation .

This type of material has a thermal resistance of up to 158 degrees and is the strongest material among industrial plastics. It also has an ergonomic structure that aids in the grip of the Kodiak Grinder . In the upper part of the handle, it has a hole to incorporate a rope or paracord , to improve the grip of the knife.

Blade

The manufacturer Muela designed a full tang blade that carries the entire blade to the end of the handle, giving it more strength and resistance, since it will not separate from the handle.

As for the shape of the blade, it has a Drop Point profile, especially for hunting, as it has a strong and sturdy tip. The edge is straight , which are the most widespread within the world of knives, and has an angle of less than 30 degrees that allows cuts for finer work.
