The Muela ZX-8OL knife is a great example of a hunting accessory. It is made of Spanish MoVa steel on its blade, and precious olive wood on its scales. It is focused on hunting , but can be multi-purpose in capable hands. Its locking system is the extended Back Lock .
The ZX-8OL knife model is a unique piece of craftsmanship . The Spanish manufacturer takes special care that its products have a good finish, but they also want them to be useful in their functions.
The steel with which the blade of the ZX-8OL knife is made is the so-called MoVa . The name refers to the inclusion of the elements molybdenum and vanadium. Molybdenum has the ability not to expand with heat, as well as being resistant to corrosion. For its part, vanadium gives it hardness.
This steel is chosen for pieces intended for daily use or hunting. The specific composition is 0.53% carbon, 0.50% manganese, 0.35% silicon, 14.50% chromium, 0.50% molybdenum, and 0.18% vanadium; and a hardness of 57-61 HRC.
The ZX-8OL knife is designed for tough jobs. For this reason, the lock designed for this piece is a success on the part of the manufacturer. The Back Lock is one of the most secure systems out there.
It consists of a hook that holds the sheet that is released by pressing on the back of the piece. With this very safe system, the opening and closing times of our knife are optimized.
The blade shape chosen for the ZX-8OL is known as Clip Point . It is one of the most popular today, especially in pieces intended for hunting.
The edge part makes a convex curve, similar to the Drop Point. For its part, the spine comes out directly from the handle, and halfway is cut in a concave shape. In this way, we get a finer point , as well as being parallel to the center of the knife.
The ZX-8OL has olive wood scales . Each piece is handcrafted, which means that each unit is unique.
The choice of this material guarantees a good grip. However, since it is not a synthetic element, maintenance is somewhat more demanding than others.
The bag included with the ZX-8OL is made from heavy-duty nylon cord. The razor is secured with an automatic button. On the back it has a flap that allows us to attach the piece to the belt comfortably.
