Description
Practical tactical knife from the Spanish manufacturer Cudeman. Drop point blade with a thickness of almost 5 mm (exactly 4.8 mm) at the spine with a partial hollow grind. Breaking a blade with such geometry is practically impossible. The blade material is Spanish molybdenum-vanadium steel with a hardness of 54-56 HRC (the commercial designation for this steel is ACX-380). The Cudeman company logo (an elephant's head) and the inscription "CUDEMAN TORNADO" are visible on the blade, and right under the handle: "MADE IN SPAIN ACX-380". Rubber handle in a hidden-tang configuration. The end of the tang protrudes from the handle, featuring a hole for a lanyard or a wrist-strap loop. The knife is sold with a rigid black Cordura sheath for belt carry.
The Cudeman company is a renowned knife manufacturer from the Spanish "knife-making hub" of the Albacete region. A company with traditions, it is one of the few European manufacturers still resisting the pressure of Chinese competition.
