Materials Used

Please note that all materials used to make these knives are genuine, not artificial. The only exception to this is the Bex handles (if supplied).

Carbon Steel

The knife blades are made from carbon steel and fold away safely for true pocket knife portability. Carbon steel is not stainless steel so its needs a bit of extra attention. It can be kept bright and shiny with care. You should avoid leaving your knife to stand in a wet condition. Even the humidity in your house can tarnish the metal if not stored correctly. Certain corrosive liquids can cause staining e.g. if you use a knife to cut an apple, the acid in the apple juice will cause tarnishing. Even fingerprints can transfer moisture to the blade which might stain it. Always clean your knife after use, and store in a very dry location. Carbon steel has an advantage over normal stainless steel in that it can produce hard, sharper blades.
All of the knives come with Brass linings & nickel bolsters.

The Knife-Making Process

Pocket knife blades are cut from sheet steel and the blades are marked, nail-nicked and drilled prior to the hardening process. After hardening and tempering, the blades are given a polish and are sharpened ready for assembly of the parts: blades, springs, linings, bolsters, handles and rivets. More grinding, shaping and a final polish leaves us with the finished product. See this Video and How Knives Are Made for more details.

Pouches

Each knife will be sent with a velvet pouch which looks good and which you may use to carry the knife in your pocket to protect the handle from scratches from keys and coins (There is an option to remove this).

Legal To Carry

The pocket knife blades' cutting edges measure between 2.3" and 3" inches in length for ease of carriage, storage and use (full blade length may be longer but includes the portion of the knife blade that forms part of the hinge inside the bolstered section; the cutting edge lengths will be shorter and within the legal permit to be carried by responsible persons under the age of 18).
