It is an alloy D2, marked by such features as: high content of elements of chromium and carbon, excellent cutting properties, necessary resistance to corrosion.
D704 design
As already noted, the D704 knife received solid D2 steel. The hardness of steel is 60 units of Rockwell (plus or minus), which gives it the right to be considered quite strong and reliable. An Axis Lock is used to pull the blade outwards. The mechanism is based on locking the blade with a spindle-shaped pin, which is located perpendicular to the plane of the blade. With such a well thought-out and effective lock, there is no chance of accidental opening of the knife when its handle is firmly squeezed. The blade of the drop-point variety is considered universal for performing various works in practice.
The butt of the knife has special notches, due to which the finger reliably adheres to the tool during use. The handle is made of G10, a fiberglass resin with excellent usability. The G10 resists shock and damage well, is not afraid of contact with moisture, and is also easy to paint, which gives freedom in the implementation of design ideas. The knife is convenient to hold, it does not slip, does not move when gripped by hand. High comfort was also talked about earlier during the release of the G704. This model is just as ergonomic.
