We pride ourselves on using the best materials available in the production of our knives. Blades are made from CPM S35VN stainless steel that holds a great edge yet is tough and resilient. Handles are made from extremely durable and attractive G10, an epoxy fiberglass laminate. We fasten the handle scales to the tang using stainless steel screws and standoffs which means our knives are serviceable, if the handle does become damaged somehow. The result is a beautiful unique knife which is also functional and made to last a life time.
To demonstrate the durability of these materials we thought a little destructive testing was in order. Of course the test isn't at all scientific but it gives a good understanding of the materials' strength. Not to mention performing torture tests are always fun!
