Commando IV

An original field knife from the K25 model line by the Spanish manufacturer Martinez Albainox. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade expands significantly towards the tip, which shifts the knife's center of gravity and enables effective chopping. This profile brings the Commando IV closer to the Nessmuk and, similarly to the Nessmuk, the tip of the knife can be used (from the back side, of course) as a substitute for a spoon. The leaf-like profile increases cutting aggression when pulled towards itself. Low hollow grind. Structurally, the knife is based on the full tang design with a very prominent crossguard on the cutting edge side. Handle covers made of green G10. A very decent sheath made of nicely finished black leather with decorative embossing and a mounting for carrying a fire starter, which is sold together with the knife. On the back, a little below the handle, there is a slightly recessed part, against which it is convenient to use a fire starter.

The K25 brand belongs to the Spanish company Martinez Albainox, once one of the largest knife manufacturers in Spain. Today, Albainox still designs its own knives, grouped into several registered model lines, but has moved almost all production to China. However, these are still branded products, which means that there is someone who cares about their quality. In such a system, the place of production ceases to be a disadvantage and becomes an advantage, because it allows us to offer an excellent price-quality ratio. Albainox knives are mostly made of Chinese industrial steel, in this particular case 8Cr13MoV, which can be a great steel, close to D2 in terms of characteristics, or a worthless piece of crap like in cheap no-name products from AliExpress.
