Like all our knives, this model offers extremely light weight at 181 g with the stability of a full-tang. This knife comes in the high-performance MagnaCut steel specially designed for knives.

The knife in detail
The handle
The handle design Stealth was designed with a German design team as well as experienced special forces in close coordination . The design is based on the current developments in service weapons from leading manufacturers and the requirements of modern task forces. Thus, the Stealth fits seamlessly into the overall concept of modern equipment. Due to its coarse structuring, the Stealth grip, weighing only 80 grams, offerssecure handling even in sweat, wet and cold. Compared to UniTi models, the finger guard has been extended for more cut protection and the handle has been made slightly bulkier for safe use with gloves. The hollow handle also provides waterproof storage for our separately available sharpening rod or other items and has recessed lanyard holes. In winter, the low mass with the poor thermal conductivity of titanium ensures that the gripfits body temperature in just few seconds even in wet and cold conditions, making it usable in all climates. We recommend the Stealth handle for glove sizes M-XL.
The Blade
Our Compact Survival Blade is the little brother of our Survival Blade at 12 cm long. This blade shape is our answer to the question ""If you could only take one compact knife with you to be self-sufficient on the road for extended periods of time, which one would you take?" The blade with 4 mm strengthis ground from Magnacut, the most uncompromising knife steel in the world, and has a balanced geometry with good cutting performance at highest resilience of the cutting bevel. The stonewashed surface makes the blade insensitiveto scratchesand is lowly reflective. The Ricasso provides with the transition to the titanium handle for a long-term resharpenability.
