The company Takumitak with Chinese roots, now based in Ontario, California, has been specialising for many years in the production of knives with robust Full-Tang blades in all possible shapes and sizes. Their goal is to offer the widest possible range of knives to meet the demands of every discerning customer.
This knife boasts a robust 3.95mm thick blade made of stainless steel 3cr13 with an etched surface finish that faithfully imitates Damascus steel. The handle is made of glow-in-the-dark resin with a stylish smoky tint. The package also includes a reliable 1680D nylon sheath compatible with the MOLLE system.
Full-tang construction
The Full-tang designation means that the blade and the internal part of the handle are made from a single piece, which significantly increases the overall strength of the knife and eliminates the risk of it breaking.
Blade made of stainless steel 3cr13
Stainless steel designated 3cr13 is an ideal choice for knives intended for everyday use. Thanks to its lower hardness of HRC 54–56 it is easy to sharpen, and due to the high chromium content you do not have to worry about corrosion. In short, it offers a balance between durability, easy maintenance, and purchase price.
Composition: 84.03% iron, 0.3% carbon, 13% chromium, 1% manganese, 0.6% nickel, 0.04% phosphorus, 0.03% sulphur, and 1% silicon
Handle made of glow-in-the-dark resin
This time the manufacturer has chosen a rather unconventional material for the handle, namely resin with added glow-in-the-dark powder. After being exposed to a flashlight or just sunlight, the handle continues to glow in the dark, which, for example at night, makes the knife easier to find. In addition, thanks to the mixture of different colour tones, it offers a very attractive design with a smoky effect.
