Muela ZX-8.OL Folding Knife

Muela ZX-8.OL Folding Knife

The Muela ZX-8OL knife is an excellent example of a hunting accessory. The blade is made from Spanish MoVa steel, and the handle features rare olive wood. The knife is primarily designed for hunting, but in capable hands it can serve as a versatile multi-purpose tool. Its locking system is an extended Back Lock.

The ZX-8OL knife model is a unique piece of craftsmanship. The Spanish manufacturer pays particular attention to giving its products a high-quality finish while ensuring they remain practical and functional.

This steel is chosen for pieces intended for everyday use or hunting. Its specific composition is 0.53% carbon, 0.50% manganese, 0.35% silicon, 14.50% chromium, 0.50% molybdenum, and 0.18% vanadium; with a hardness of 57-61 HRC.

The ZX-8OL knife is intended for demanding tasks. For this reason, the lock selected by the manufacturer for this piece is a successful choice. Back Lock is one of the safest systems.

It consists of a hook that holds the blade and is released by pressing on the back of the knife. With this very secure system, the opening and closing of the knife are optimized.

The edge section forms a convex curve similar to a Drop Point. The spine rises directly from the handle and halfway along is cut into a concave shape. In this way, we get a finer tip while keeping it aligned with the center of the knife.

The ZX-8OL has olive wood scales. Each piece is handmade, which means every knife is unique.

The choice of this material guarantees a good grip. However, since it is not a synthetic material, maintenance is somewhat more demanding than with others.

The sheath for the ZX-8OL knife is made of durable nylon. On the back, it has a flap that allows convenient attachment to a belt.
