These are all full tang knives for maximum strength.
All styles of my knife have a Scandinavian style flat grind, which is imperative for a good carving tool. This flat grind adds to, the ease of sharpening, strength, and the control of use whilst carving.
The knives are made from 01 tool steel, which is a high carbon hard wearing tool steel which has a good edge holding ability.
I heat treat all my own tools in a specialist heat treatment kiln. I test each blade after hardening to ensure full hardness is achieved and then again after tempering to ensure each blade has been tempered to between 57 to 59 Rockwell C.
I test the blades on my own Rockwell hardness tester which has been calibrated to within 0.5 of a Rockwell.
