The steel of choice at JC Knives is D2 Tool Steel. D2 is a high carbon, high chromium content steel. This means that it is considered to be a semi-stainless tool steel. It is a favourite amongst knife collectors as it is applauded for its good wear resistance, strength, and its increased resistance to corrosion. The blade has been heat treated to 59 HRC to ensure for maximum edge retention while still keeping a strong blade profile.

Our handle scales range from beautiful burls to some of the hardest, rarest and most stables woods on earth. Each set of handle scales is handpicked from around the world and is guaranteed to be a book matched set.

The leather sheath is custom made and hand stitched from a premium 9-10oz natural top grain vegetable tanned cowhide sourced from the USA. It has also been wet formed to the knife to increase durability and to ensure maximum blade retention. The sheath itself gives a satisfying 'click' once the blade is fully inserted.
