70mm Neck Knife leather magnacut
$255.00 - Sold out
70mm neck knife made from cpm-magnacut stainless steel, cryo treated in liquid nitrogen and hardened to 63 rockwell.
A strong argument can be made that magnacut is the best all around knife steel available today.
It combines balanced high levels of abrasion resistance, toughness and corrosion resistance that haven't been available in a single steel before its development.
Check out this link to an article from Dr. Larrin Thomas, the creator of mangacut about its development for more information.

The handle is wrapped hardened leather. I do this by soaking a strip of leather in water, tightly wrapping the hanlde and then baking it. This shrinks and hardens the leather, locking it onto the handle.
This is a similar process to how leather armor was hardened back in the day. It makes a durable, grippy handle that will patina nicely with use.
Comes with a kydex/leather sheath with a neck lanyard.
