TheX43 is a multi-purpose knife designed for field use. The blade with Drop Point characteristics is made from 8cr13mov stainless steel with a hardness of 58-60 HRC and a thickness of 3.5mm. The model has a full tang construction, which increases its strength and resistance to breakage. The handle facings made of durable MICARTA plastic have been shaped to ensure a secure grip in all conditions. The safety of the blade is enhanced by the hilt, which prevents the hand from slipping on the cutting edge, and the ridges on the back of the blade. The handle has a cord hole. A Kydex scabbard is included for conveniently transporting the knife at the belt or equipment (vertically as well as horizontally). This compact and extremely robust knife is a popular choice and appreciated by people actively involved in survival activities as well as an everyday EDC knife.
