The Science of Oil Tempering
Oil tempering represents advanced blade metallurgy that provides distinct advantages over traditional methods:
- Reduced Stress Cracking: The slower cooling rate of oil prevents the extreme thermal shock that can cause micro-fractures in water-quenched blades
- Enhanced Toughness: Creates a finer grain structure in the steel, resulting in a blade that can absorb more impact without chipping or breaking
- Better Edge Retention: The controlled tempering process allows for optimal hardness while maintaining flexibility
- Consistent Performance: Provides more predictable and uniform results across the entire blade surface
This advanced tempering method makes this knife exceptionally reliable for the unpredictable demands of rescue and survival situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a Rescue knife?
The Rescue designation refers to its capability to handle emergency extraction tasks. The robust 12-inch blade and full tang construction provide the strength needed for prying, cutting through materials, and other rescue scenarios where ordinary knives would fail.
How does oil tempering compare to water tempering?
Oil tempering cools the steel more slowly than water, creating less internal stress and reducing the risk of cracking. This results in a tougher, more flexible blade that's better suited for heavy impact and prying tasks compared to the harder but more brittle blades produced by water tempering.
Is White Sadan wood suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, White Sadan wood is an excellent choice for outdoor tools. It has natural resistance to moisture and provides a secure grip even when wet. The wood develops a beautiful patina over time while maintaining its structural integrity and comfortable feel.
What maintenance does the unpolished blade require?
The unpolished finish is actually lower maintenance than polished blades. It naturally hides scratches and wear. Simply keep the blade clean and oiled to prevent rust. The rustic appearance develops character over time while maintaining full functionality.
