Some info on this piece:
This info is from the designer:
"The handle is one sculptured piece of Nema fr4, is very ergonomic and resistent."
"Mikmolleta is the designer. Knife is maked for Nexus group, is an evolution in experience in using Mission and Mad Dog.
The blade steel is K360 hi performance steel, il is more tough of A2 and O1 and have
a good corrosion resistance similar to D2, is made with Electro Slag Remelting technology.
The blade is 58/59 hrc and in the handle is 50 hrc.
In Electro Slag Remelting the ingot is built up in a water cooled mould by melting a
consumable electrode immersed in a superheated process slag. An electrical current
flowing through the liquid slag, which provides the electrical resistance, generates
the heat. As the slag temperature rises above the liquids temperature of the steel,
the tip of the electrode melts. The reaction between slag and steel droplets results
in a significant reduction in sulphur and non-metallic inclusions. The directional
solidification of the ingot from bottom to top results in an ingot with a high
homogeneity and freedom from macro - segregations. This gives uniform mechanical
properties in the longitudinal and transverse directions after hot working.
By utilizing homogenisation annealing of ingots, a high ingot break down and
special heat treatment methods for structure refinement and strategy is fulfilled
in optimising steel properties for an extended tool life.
is a very strong moultiproupose, the maximum thickness of blade is 7.2mm."

0.90% Silicon,
0.35% Mn,
8.75% Chrome,
2.7% Molybdenum,
1.18% Vanadium,
x % Al,
X % Nb.

If I'm not mistaken, Nema FR-4 is the same thing as G-10.
