Frequently Asked Questions

What is differential heat treatment and why is it beneficial?

Firstly, differential heat treatment is a traditional technique that creates varying hardness levels throughout the blade. Specifically, the spine remains softer (22-25 RC) for flexibility and shock absorption. Meanwhile, the belly has medium hardness (45-46 RC) to resist impact. Finally, the edge is hardened (58-60 RC) for sharpness and long-lasting retention. Consequently, this combination ensures an optimal balance of durability and cutting performance for survival applications.

How does 5160 steel compare to other blade steels?

5160 spring steel is renowned for its exceptional toughness and impact resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty blades like survival knives. It contains chromium for minor corrosion resistance and excels under stress, outlasting many higher-carbon steels in durability.

Is the knife truly ready to use out of the box?

Yes! Each knife arrives professionally sharpened and hunting-ready. You can use it immediately for field dressing, bushcraft, or survival applications without any additional sharpening required. The edge is honed to optimal sharpness for immediate field use.
