420H Stainless Steel Blade

The Venecia uses 420H stainless steel, selected to provide a practical combination of corrosion resistance, toughness and ease of maintenance.

The manufacturer specifies a hardness of approximately 55–56 HRC. This makes the blade suitable for general hunting and outdoor cutting tasks while remaining relatively straightforward to resharpen with suitable equipment.

Although stainless steel offers improved corrosion resistance compared with conventional carbon steel, it is not completely immune to staining or corrosion. The blade should still be cleaned and dried after use.

Bowie-Style Blade

The manufacturer classifies the Venecia blade as a Bowie-type blade. Its approximately 180 mm length provides a long working edge suitable for controlled outdoor and hunting tasks.

The 4.5 mm blade thickness gives the knife a substantial construction, but the knife should not be treated as a pry bar, chisel, hammer or throwing knife.

Decorative Handle and Fittings

The handle is made from pressed wood with a dark, traditional appearance. Decorative silver-coloured Zamak fittings contribute to the classic styling of the knife.

The polished metal components and wood handle give the Venecia a more refined appearance than a purely utilitarian field knife, making it particularly appealing to users who value traditional hunting-knife design.

Leather Sheath

A leather sheath is included for storage and transport. The sheath helps protect the blade and reduces the risk of accidental contact with the sharpened edge.

Always ensure that the knife is fully seated in the sheath before transport. A supplied sheath does not mean that carrying the knife in public is lawful.

Recommended Use

• Hunting
• Outdoor utility tasks
• Camp use
• Field preparation tasks
• Knife collections
• Traditional hunting equipment displays

The knife is not intended for throwing, prying, levering, striking hard objects or use as a substitute for an axe or other specialised tool.

Package Includes

• Muela Venecia hunting knife
• Leather sheath
