The new "Bellator" is the first SYSTEMA knife, that ES and Andreas Weitzel -one of the leading SYSTEMA trainers- have jointly developed. Andreas Weitzel has contributed with his practical expertise in the field of Russian ´combat and self-defence´. The knife is made of proven Böhler N695 stainless steel and comes with anti-slip G-10 grips. The shape of the handle has been influenced by the Cossack sabre, also knows as the `Schaschka`. The basic principle of the `Schaschka`is that it facilitates `grip, draw and strike` in a single, fluent movement. The large screws, the indentation in the middle part of the grip and the ergonomical finger geometry enable excellent handling and rapid change of hold. This makes the `Bellator` excellent for self-defence. This knife is also a superb choice for hunters, outdoor fans and survival specialists. For flexible carrying ES have chosen a Kydex sheath with belt adapter. Weight 220 g, blade 11,7 cm, overall 23,7 cm.
