Overview
This Premier Grade Torque Converter features a hollow ground, hand-rubbed blade and black canvas micarta handle with amboyna burl inlays. 1/4" blade thickness and 1 3/4" blade depth. Professionally heat treated by MET-TEK with a triple temper and cryogenic soaked to a Rockwell hardness of 59-60. Sharpened top edge. Notched thumbrest."Premier grade knives feature a labor intensive hand rubbed satin finish on the flats of the blade, and a scotch brite finish in the hollow grind, which is then lightly buffed to attain an attractive sheen."
"The micarta handle slabs are adhered to the tang using industrial epoxy, sealing out moister. Titanium tubing is used for its strength, light weight and non-corrosive properties. Not only does it provides a distinct look to the knives, but its prime function is to prevent handle separation during lateral flex of the knife should it occur. The titanium tubing is flared into the canvas micarta under pressure, to provide an indestructible bond."
"Using an innovative scuba webbing platform for mounting, the sheath can be worn in 3 positions. The normal thigh rig length gives excellent flexibility for getting in and out of vehicles, or squatting around a fire without the bottom of your sheath getting in the dirt. The drop sheath attachment can be removed to raise the sheath to a standard drop position, giving a little higher wear to the knife."
Outstanding fit and finish. A pleasure to hold. Direct from maker. Blade Steel: CPM S30V @ 59-60 RC
