Why Choose This Knife?
Professional-Grade Steel (52100 High-Carbon)
Originally engineered for industrial ball bearings, 52100 is a premium chromium-alloy steel highly prized by custom knife makers. It contains roughly 1.0% carbon for extreme hardness and 1.5% chromium for wear resistance and toughness. The blade cuts exceptionally well, holds its edge, and is remarkably easy to resharpen. It is hand-sanded to a fine 1000 grit and then etched to beautifully bring out the natural structure of the steel. While it contains some nickel to offer mild corrosion resistance, this high-carbon steel still requires proper maintenance to prevent patina or rust.
Exceptional Edge Retention (62+ HRC)
We heat-treat this blade to a high hardness level of 62+ HRC. This gives you a high-performance edge that stays razor-sharp through heavy slicing, dicing, and skinning, providing a very thin, high-performance edge without sacrificing the steel's structural integrity.
Weather-Resistant, Ergonomic Handle
The handle pairs a rich, durable ironwood with dark ebony and custom copper spacers. By hand-sanding the handle to an ultra-fine 1000-grit, we close up the grain for easier polishing and maintenance. This drastically reduces the chance of water or food juices soaking into the wood, making it highly durable.
