Nieto Mountain folding knife with Olive handle 245-O

Nieto launches the new Mountain series composed of four folding knives. The Mountain model is made with a MoVa 1.4116 stainless steel blade, with a pivot on top of the blade for easy opening with one hand (ambidextrous). Handle with stainless steel liners, olive wood handle and liner lock system. The four folding knives of the Mountain Series are designed for use as a compliment tool in hunting or bushcraft activities. These folding knives include a versatile Drop Point blade. In addition, the user can choose between four different grip materials. All models that make up the Mountain Series are composed of a satin sheet designed with Vanadium steel 1.4116, which is characterized by a perfect structural balance between carbon and chromium. This steel, designed by ThyssenKrupp, has a very fine grain that will generate a powerful and strong edge. Likewise, it has properties in common with other level steels such as 420 and 440, so it will not rust in contact with corrosion produced by other ferrous elements. In addition, it has a good resistance to wear produced by prolonged use, as well as hostile environments (rainforests, high mountains or swamps). In particular, this type of steel is composed of 0.45% carbon, 1.5% chromium, 0.5% molybdenum, 1% manganese, 1% silicone and has a typical hardness of 55-58. HRC. The developers of Miguel Nieto have equipped in this folding knives a Lock Liner Lock, which is probably the most widespread in the world of cutlery thanks to its spectacular performance. This technology allows working constantly with the knife without any risk of cutting for the user. This popular system consists of an internal metal plate that blocks the blade against the spike by a pressure method. It does not require any maintenance and its main property lies in the ease of blocking/unlocking action, so the user will reduce usage times to the maximum. Versatility and polyvalence of cuts: these are the two fundamental properties of the blade with a Drop Point profile equipped in the four Mountain knives, since it is a structurally very strong blade style, generated thanks to the convex curve located in the area near the tip of the knife. The four magnificent pieces of Spanish origin have a large straight edge that comes from the handle and greatly increases the work surface, so it will allow deep cuts. Likewise, they have a strong point for fine cutting work.
