Alpha 420HC

A full tang knife from the Tactical Echelon series. This is the most affordable version of the Alpha, made from 420HC steel with a hardness of 56 HRC. It includes a black, Finnish-style leather sheath. All other features are identical to the other knives in the Alpha model line. The handle has a distinctive profile that ensures a secure grip, both with bare hands and while wearing gloves. The handle scales are made from a combination of Kraton (a thermoplastic polymer rubber highly resistant to cracking and abrasion) and ABS (a hard, impact-resistant polymer), featuring a textured finish. It has a drop point blade with a partial hollow grind. The blade has a stonewash finish.

The Dagestani company Kizlyar Supreme (not to be confused with Kizlyar, also from Dagestan) is one of the few Russian knife manufacturers widely known outside of Russia. Kizlyar Supreme focuses on combining the old traditions of Caucasian knife makers with the latest production technologies. Kizlyar Supreme products are the result of work by craftsmen who have been making knives for generations, but who now utilize state-of-the-art programmable machining centers and hardening furnaces.
