ISZ 412V-X is an updated model of the previous ISZ 412V-T.
The change will be a complete review of the materials used.
Blade
The blade steel is CPM MagnaCut. High corrosion resistance, high abrasion resistance, and high strength are all combined at a very high level, making it an all-purpose steel material that is the most ideal for this knife.
From this time, 1/3 of the blade has serrations, which are required for rescue, scuba, etc.
In order to withstand loads such as batoning in bushcraft, the spacing between the serration blades is slightly wider.
Handle
The handle is the same general-purpose grip that fits any size hand.
This time, the handle material is made of Ultrex™ micarta, which makes it lightweight and strong, and the dielectric strength is approximately 20 times greater than the previous model, allowing it to withstand over 40,000 volts.
The bottom of the handle is made of extremely strong and lightweight 1K carbon, and the bolts that connect it to the handle are glued and tightened with four Ti6AL4V bolts.
A tungsten carbide glass breaker is installed under the 1K carbon for emergencies and other uses.
We use high-performance structural epoxy DURALCO® 4538, divided into two types: elastic type and hardened type, as the adhesive that connects these and the blade.
Although the steel design inside the handle is simple, this concealed knife is stronger than a full tang knife of the same size.
Sheath
The knife is designed for practical use and there is no design for the sake of design, so the sheath is designed with design in mind. Kydex has a layered structure. Good ventilation and maintenance. The sheath bolt uses Ti6AL4V as standard.
Both the belt loop and locking mechanism can be attached to either the left or right side, allowing you to set it to suit your dominant hand.
The locking mechanism of the sheath uses a newly designed model that can be attached and detached with one touch.
It locks firmly with the Kydex band.
This time's model also costs more than the previous one, so improving costs and production efficiency will be a challenge in the future.
