Unrivaled Sharpness and Edge Retention

At the heart of this knife is a ZDP-189 powder steel core, renowned for its extreme hardness and ability to hold an incredibly sharp edge. Vacuum heat-treated to 65-67 HRC, this blade will maintain its razor-like sharpness for far longer than conventional stainless steel knives.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Design

The blade is constructed from a 3-layer composite steel, with the ZDP-189 core clad in softer stainless steel for added durability and ease of maintenance. The octagonal handle is crafted from desert ironwood and accented with white buffalo horn, providing a comfortable and secure grip.
