Muela 5162-D Fixed Knife
Detailed product description
The Muela 5162-D fixed knife is a practical model for hunting and outdoor use. Its construction follows Muela’s traditional approach to working knives, while using modern materials suitable for regular use.
The blade is made of 420H stainless steel, which is characterized by good corrosion resistance, toughness, and easy edge restoration. Muela describes this steel as highly stain-resistant and tough, with easy resharpening.
The hollow grind supports good cutting performance, and the satin finish gives the blade a classic look. The handle combines durable synthetic ABS with Zamak alloy. Muela states that Zamak is a zinc-based alloy with additions of aluminum, magnesium, and copper.
The green-and-black finish underlines the model’s outdoor character. A leather sheath is included for safe carrying of the knife.
Character and philosophy
The Muela 5162-D is designed primarily as a working knife. The combination of stainless steel, a synthetic handle, and a simple fixed construction reflects use where the knife is meant above all to perform reliably.

Possible limitations
420H steel is focused primarily on corrosion resistance, toughness, and easy maintenance. Compared with modern premium knife steels, you cannot expect the same edge retention during intensive use.
The knife is designed primarily as a cutting working tool and should not be used as a pry bar, chisel, or substitute for an axe.
Maintenance and care
After each use, clean the knife and dry it thoroughly. Lightly oil the blade regularly, especially before long-term storage.
We recommend maintaining the edge with gentle and regular sharpening while keeping the correct angle. For edge maintenance, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, which customers can purchase on our Moskito.cz website.
Avoid aggressive chemical products. For long-term storage, we recommend not keeping the knife permanently in the leather sheath, as leather can retain moisture.
Recommended for
We recommend the Muela 5162-D for hunting, camping, hiking, outdoor living, and general outdoor tasks. It is especially suitable for users who prefer a classic fixed knife with low-maintenance care.

The Muela 5162-D is a practical fixed knife built on simplicity and functionality. The 420H steel offers good corrosion resistance and easy sharpening, while the combination of ABS and Zamak creates a durable handle suitable for working use.
