Built to Work, Not Just Look Good: Why We Picked A2 Media
Published: 4 days ago
???? Why did we choose A2 steel for the Field Ready Genesis? There’s a good reason—and it might surprise you.
In a world obsessed with the newest “super steels,” we went with a proven workhorse that has earned its place through decades of real-world use. A2 tool steel offers an incredible balance of toughness, reliability, and easy maintenance that’s hard to beat when you actually use your knife.
One of the biggest advantages? Field sharpenability. When your edge needs a touch-up in camp or on the trail, A2 comes back fast with basic sharpening gear, so you can spend more time working and less time grinding.
We also run our A2 at 57–59 Rc, a sweet spot that delivers excellent toughness while still taking a wicked edge and remaining easy to maintain. It’s built for people who use their knives—not just admire them.
The Field Ready Genesis was designed from the ground up to be a dependable companion, with a hand-sharpened saber grind, removable scales, and sheath options that let you carry it your way.
