Foremost among the features of this new Tactical Fixed Blade is its commanding 5.0’’ Drop-Point blade. Featuring a 60/40-combo-edge formed from 440C high chromium stainless steel, the HK50's blade is protected by a durable, non-reflective black Xylan blade coating that exceeds ASTM-117 specifications for saltwater corrosion resistance. The tactical form and function of this knife is enhanced through the creation of the grip handle, as well. Machined of G10, an extremely durable multi-layer composite impervious to liquids or climatic change, the unique texture of the scales provides a glue-like grip in any environment.
