Steel and heat treatment

80CrV2 carbon steel is used in all our carbon steel knives. The thing is that it´s nothing special really, just really good tool steel that can take basically any beating and offers great edge retention.

The heat treatment we use leaves the surface of the steel softer than the inside. This actually functions a lot like fancy differential heat treatments, making these knives very tough.

The heat treatment and softer surface are also why we have added the bevels to the spine, a simple polished spine was not enough for use with ferro rods but with these little bevels that uncover the inner, harder steel we get a spine that strikes ferro rods really well!

DIY handle

This knife has a very durable full tang blade. The tang comes out of the back, forming a little knob with a hole for lanyards and such. The tang is bare so you can make the handle of your dreams or leave it as it is. Make the handle pieces from a suitable piece of wood or combine antlers or some other beautiful materials. The bare tang has 8 mm (5/16") holes for attaching the handle pieces.

In case you don’t have the possibility to make a hard handle at home but would still like a DIY handle, the answer is Paracord. In the video below, we’ll show you how to make a pretty and functional handle quite easily.
