Solingen (high carbon) steel

D2 Dendritic (tool steel)

Damascus steel

all blades are hardened to between 57 and 61 on the Rockwell scale.
most blades are cryogenically treated.
(“deep cryogenic tempering” is a one-time process in which the blades are frozen in extremely low temperatures ~ minus 305-310 degrees Fahrenheit.
this process - also applied to gun barrels - removes all large, unstable particles of carbon carbide from the steel and transforms it to martinsite, which greatly enhances the blade’s edge-holding properties.)

blades styles:

rigid or lock-back
flat, hollow-ground, or concave

straight, curved, filet, clip point, drop point, or semi-drop point

satin or mirror finish

crafted with or without thumb guards, bolsters, finger grips,
traction grooves, and thong holes.

    blade lengths range from approximately 3 ˝” to 6”.
