Technical Specifications

Premium Böhler N690 Steel

The 384 GTO features Böhler N690 stainless steel, a premium Austrian steel that's highly regarded for EDC knives. Heat-treated to HRC 60 hardness, N690 offers an excellent balance of properties:

• Excellent Edge Retention: Holds a sharp edge well through daily use
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Stainless composition resists rust in all conditions
• Good Toughness: Withstands the demands of everyday cutting tasks
• Easy to Sharpen: Can be touched up quickly when needed
• Fine Grain Structure: Allows for sharp edges and good cutting performance

N690 is a popular choice for quality production knives, offering performance that rivals much more expensive steels.

Textured G10 Handle

The handle is made from G10 - a glass-reinforced nylon laminate that's lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture, chemicals, and temperature extremes. The G10 on the GTO has been specially worked to create a textured surface that provides:

• Firm Grip: Secure hold even when wet or when wearing gloves
• Aesthetic Impact: The texturing creates visual interest and modern styling
• Lightweight: Keeps overall knife weight low for comfortable carry
• Durability: Won't crack, warp, or degrade over time
• Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and doesn't absorb moisture

• Practical Blade Length: 90mm is perfect for everyday tasks
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand daily use
• Easy to Carry: Comes with nylon sheath for convenient carry options

This is a knife designed to be carried and used every day, not left at home because it's too heavy or bulky.

Nylon Sheath

The included nylon sheath provides practical protection and carry options for your GTO. Nylon is lightweight, durable, weather-resistant, and easy to clean - perfect for an EDC knife. The sheath can be worn on your belt or attached to your pack, keeping the knife secure and accessible.
