This Navalia Micarta is a knife specially designed for hunting with a MoVa steel blade of Spanish origin and high-performance black Micarta scales . It has a locking system located on the back of the knife and has a straight edge for clean cuts .
This model of spectacular performance belongs to the M Series , designed by the manufacturer Eladio Muela , which gives its name to the renowned cutlery brand. Muela is characterized by the manufacture of knives such as the Navalia Micarta , an ideal product for hunting due to its excellent edge and highly durable handle.
The Navalia Micarta pocket knife has a stainless steel blade made in Albacete (Spain) . As its name indicates, it is a type of alloy modified and improved with molybdenum and vanadium, which provides it with superior resistance to intermediate range knives.
Molybdenum provides the knife with good performance in extreme temperature conditions , since it supports abrasion without expanding. For its part, the small addition of vanadium adds great hardness to the steel, hence it reaches between 57-61HRC on the Rockwell Scale.
Its exact composition is 0.53% carbon, 0.50% manganese, 0.35% silicon, 14.50% chromium, 0.50% molybdenum and 0.18% vanadium, so it has good edge holding and corrosion immunity .
This blade locking system is one of the most widely used in cutlery, thanks to its spectacular reliability and extreme safety under pressure . The technology consists of a hook embedded behind the grip that catches the tang and locks it completely .
The unlocking action is just as simple , as you only have to press the hook and the blade is released and ready to return to its original position . This system allows the use of the knife in seconds in a comfortable, practical and safe way.
Among the multiple uses that can be given to the Navalia Micarta is to perforate all types of skins. This can be done easily , since it has a straight edge that increases the work surface, facilitating deep and clean cuts .
In addition, the Muela developers have equipped a Clip Point or Bowie type of profile, characterized by its fine tip with a growing character that allows absolute control in direction and force by the user. Likewise, this high-performance knife has a satin gray finish .
As the name of this Navalia indicates, the material used by the Spanish manufacturer is Micarta , a type of product that is created under high pressure , grouping layers of fiber cloth with epoxy resin. This process results in a handle that is resistant to chemicals , high temperatures and humidity .
Likewise, the Micarta allows a great variety of colors, and for this Muela model black sheets of fabric have been used for a very striking and exclusive finish.
