Cudeman Athenea G10 Green (345-GV): The little Goddess, now with green G10 and the premium steel you love so much
The Cudeman Athenea (345-GV) has been designed for those seeking a knife that blends in with its surroundings without sacrificing an ounce of technical performance. This green G10 version is not just an aesthetic choice, but a declaration of intent for the user who demands a discreet, extremely robust tool with superior cutting control, manufactured with the precision that only Albacete cutlery can offer.
Why this Cudeman is right for you
- Extreme structural resistance: Thanks to its 3.0 mm blade thickness, it offers a solidity unusual for its size, ideal for tasks requiring full confidence.
- Guaranteed mechanical safety: Its back-lock system provides a firm and secure anchor, preventing any risk of accidental closing during use.
- High-precision ergonomics: The handle design has been studied to adapt to the palm, allowing absolute directional control of the drop-point tip.
- Tactical and functional aesthetics: The green G10 finish with orange spacers offers a technical appearance that withstands the test of time and intense use in adverse conditions.
Steel and edge performance
At the heart of the Athenea beats Böhler N690Co steel, a high-end alloy with a hardness of 60/61 HRc. This steel stands out for its exceptional edge retention and outstanding corrosion resistance thanks to cobalt. You will have an aggressive and durable edge in this tool. Due to the exceptional hardness of the steel used in its blade, designed to maximize long-term edge retention, we recommend that sharpening tasks be carried out by a technical service or a qualified professional to avoid altering the cutting geometry.
Construction and resistance
Manufactured entirely in our facilities, this knife features a satin finish that reduces reflections and facilitates blade maintenance. The structure is supported by a steel liner anchor, ensuring a solid, play-free connection between all its components. The blade is mounted with an internal threaded brass bushing and Allen screw for optimal adjustment. Although it is an extremely resistant piece, its design is optimized for technical cutting and should not be used for prying, thus preserving the integrity of its mechanical axis.
Handle and control in real conditions
The handle is made of green G10 with orange spacers, a high-density synthetic material that is virtually unalterable by moisture, cold, or extreme heat. Its texture provides a firm grip even with wet hands or when wearing gloves, while its ergonomic design of 10.5 cm allows for prolonged use without causing fatigue points in the hand, guaranteeing total control in every movement.
Sheath and portability
To adapt to your equipment needs, we offer this model in two configurations. If you prefer to carry your knife in your pocket, collect it in a display case, or prefer to carry it in its sheath hanging from your belt, you can choose between:
- 345-GV: Knife without sheath, simple to carry in your pocket or backpack.
- 345-GVF: Knife with a black sheath with orange stitching matching the spacer of its green G10 scales (sheath 604-NN).
Use scenarios
- Outdoor and Bushcraft Activities: Its robustness and color make it ideal for integrating into field equipment and performing auxiliary camp tasks.
- Everyday Carry (EDC): A compact and powerful tool that solves any daily cutting need with maximum efficiency.
- Hunting and Stalking: Perfect for those looking for a discreet and lightweight knife that responds with precision in processing game or support tasks.
Care and maintenance
- When using G10, the handle is extremely durable; simply keep the piece in a dry place when not in use to protect the internal components.
- After each use, clean the blade with a soft cloth to remove moisture or organic acid residues and keep the satin finish impeccable.
- Periodically apply a drop of light oil to the pivot to ensure that the back-lock deployment remains smooth and precise.
- Keep the locking mechanism channel free of dirt or sediment to ensure a consistently firm safety engagement.
The Cudeman Athenea (345-GV) is the perfect synthesis between EDC and mechanical reliability; an everyday tool with a tactical look and brutal cutting power. Will this novelty be a top seller in the near future?
