STEEL: A36CARB

This knife begins as tough A36 Steel. The blade is sent for a state of the art heat treatment, which, over a period of twelve hours, produces a deep layer of high carbon tool steel that forms an incredible cutting edge (58-59 RC) while retaining extreme core toughness (35 RC).

EDGE STYLE

This edge is Double Hollow Ground.  The grinds/bevels are asymmetrical, designed specifically to produce a thinner modified single bevel cutting tool.  The edge is micro-beveled and ceramic honed.  See sharpening suggestions below.

INCLUDED WITH SALE

Beautiful handcrafted leather sheath made by Voyager Leatherworks in Ohio. Sheath includes a field Arkansas stone.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

All carbon steel knives are susceptible to rust.  This knife is no different.  It is recommended to oil your blade after each use in the field.  Mineral oil works great. You can also use mineral oil to treat and protect the whiskey stave handle scales.  If any rust occurs on the blade while in storage, steel wool can be used to brush it off. 

SHARPENING

Your knife has an asymmetrical beveled edge (think Samurai sword).  You won't notice it with the naked eye but it is there.  You will achieve the sharpest edge by only sharpening the side of the blade which has my logo stamped. A rod-style diamond or ceramic sharpener works well for this task but many varieties of bench stones will work as well.
