The proportions, however, have been adjusted to meet the needs of modern operators and urban environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe blade uses a saber grind for versatility. The Bowie tip, equipped with a false edge, delivers strong penetrating capability. The Dark Stone-wash finish adds discretion and character while masking wear marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe handle scales are made from G10, a synthetic material known for exceptional strength, rot resistance, and outstanding temperature stability. Lightly textured for improved grip, they’re secured with our hollow BTR\/Torx tubular screws, which allow the passage of cord or shock cord for enhanced retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe compact design of the knife, combined with an optimized handle ergonomics, forms an effective guard that ensures a secure hold even under stress, with wet hands, or while wearing gloves. The rear end features a protrusion designed for hammer or ice-pick grips during the draw. The skeletonized pommel allows for absorbing and delivering impacts (batoning, striking, glass-breaking).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe Kydex sheath is lightweight, compact, rot-proof, and stable under temperature changes. It offers multiple carry options and quick, intuitive deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe carefully selected characteristics of the UMAC make it perfectly suited for both civilians and professionals, whether carried openly on a plate carrier or discreetly in the appendix position using the belt clip of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station IX Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53121468531035,"sku":"STN015","price":109.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/0841\/2036\/files\/STN015.jpg?v=1779871556","url":"https:\/\/www.knifeaddict.de\/en\/products\/station-ix-knives-number-fifteen-umac","provider":"knifeaddict","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
