Hussar VG-10 Cryo (black handle)
Description
A pocket knife made of cryogenically treated VG-10 steel. The Hussar was awarded twice, in 2024 and 2025, in the "series-produced folding knife" category at the most prestigious Klinok knife exhibition competitions. It features a narrow drop-point blade with a partially ground spine creating a false edge and a full flat grind. The blade has a stone wash finish. The handle scales are made of FRN – a thermoplastic polymer reinforced with fiberglass. It uses a liner lock mechanism. At the end of the handle, there is a lanyard hole for a cord or wrist strap. The blade material is the highest quality VG-10 stainless steel with cryogenic treatment, hardened to 60-61 HRC. The knife has a clip and does not include a sheath.
