Spanish Green Beret blued (299-N) Even more tactical. The military titan that merges with the shadows.
When the mission demands undetected action and relentless force, the equipment must be up to the task. The Spanish Green Beret (299-N) tactical knife is the ultimate expression of our military line, sporting a dark and lethal blued black finish. Its history is well-known worldwide: starting from the concept of the old Argentine Yarará, in Albacete we redesigned and perfected its geometry to manufacture a semi-handmade prodigy that marked an era. It is a blade that has passed the most extreme tests in the operational field and has stoically resisted the slanders and lies of those who, in their day, tried to appropriate its success. Envy makes noise, but quality on the ground silences any doubt.
This knife is not just an 18-centimeter blade; it is a rescue and assault platform designed not to shine under the sun or under tactical spotlights. Its weight, its destructive mass, and its multiple integrated tools make it the ultimate companion for the operative who ventures into the unknown, knowing that they carry the most tactical and versatile legend of our brand.
Why this Cudeman suits you
- Absolute stealth and extra protection: Its blued treatment eliminates any tell-tale glint in night operations and adds an extra physical barrier against environmental corrosion.
- Destructive inertia without fatigue: Its 420 grams of weight, concentrated in a 4.5-centimeter wide blade, work in your favor when chopping or breaching, multiplying the force of each impact.
- Portable command center: Equipped with wire cutters, bullet encapsulator, and an aggressive glass breaker, it offers immediate emergency solutions without releasing the weapon.
Steel and edge performance
On the front line of combat, there is no room for weakness. This beast is made with relentless Böhler N-695 steel, which after our meticulous heat treatment reaches 59/60 HRc. This alloy provides exceptional tactical hardness and superlative edge retention. Its hollow grind profile penetrates materials with astonishing fluidity, and its dark blued finish seals the metal. Being a high-hardness steel, we recommend having diamond sharpeners in your campaign kit to restore its factory lethality in a few minutes.
Construction and resistance
This model is synonymous with indestructibility. We are talking about a purely full-tang structure, a 5-millimeter thick block of Böhler steel that forms the backbone of the tool's 31 total centimeters. The handles are assembled to the chassis using stainless steel Allen screws and thick threaded brass internal bushings. Its imposing Clip-Point tip is devastating in penetration, but appealing to operational rigor, remember that its geometry is optimized for cutting, incising, and impacting; it is not an industrial lever for dislodging solid granite blocks. It is predictable and completely normal for a blued black knife, due to wear or mechanical friction, to show the silver color of the base steel, this being an inseparable technical quality of this type of treatment.
Handle and control in real conditions
A weapon of this magnitude demands an absolute grip in the hand. For this, we have mounted robust satin black micarta handles, highlighted by an aggressive red spacer. Micarta is a military-grade polymer that repels blood, water, and mud, ensuring that the knife does not move a millimeter even with soaked tactical gloves. To multiply traction, the handle has a deep jimping on the spine that seats the thumb, and ends in a solid glass breaker with a lanyard hole, preventing any accidental loss during evasive maneuvers.
Sheath and portability
The Spanish Green Beret includes a beautiful and practical multi-position black leather sheath that follows the silhouette of the knife. As is the pride and non-negotiable standard of our brand, this sheath is entirely manufactured in-house, designed, cut, and hand-assembled by our artisans in our facilities. For a piece of this caliber, the carrying system must be impeccable. Depending on your level of tactical demand, the Spanish Green Beret adapts with three sheath options:
- 299-N: Multi-position black leather sheath, practical, classic, and resistant for horizontal or vertical carry.
- 299-NC: Complete black leather sheath that includes a comprehensive survival kit (sharpening stone, signal mirror, fire starter, and high-quality red paracord).
- 299-N-K: Black Kydex sheath, ideal for purely tactical or high humidity environments, offering unbreakable mechanical retention and ultra-fast extraction.
Use scenarios
- Military deployments and special operations where stealth, forcefulness, and camouflage are vital.
- Rescue missions in collapsed structures or vehicles, using its integrated glass breaker and wire cutters.
- Hard survival and extreme bushcraft in hostile environments, performing chopping tasks and processing thick wood.
Care and maintenance
- Thoroughly clean the blade with soap and water after each use; removing fluids or resin will extend the life of the blued treatment.
- Thoroughly dry the Böhler N-695 steel before sheathing, paying special attention to the areas of the bullet encapsulator and wire cutters.
- The black micarta does not require oils or moisturizing products; a quick brush is enough for it to regain its grippy and rough feel.
- Periodically check the tightness of the Allen screws if the knife has been subjected to extreme vibrations when chopping hard wood.
- Sharpen, always maintaining the original angle of its grind, using diamond tools and trying not to scratch the dark coating on the sides of the blade.
