H-1 Steel
A myth in the knife world is that there exists steel with high-performance cutting abilities that cannot rust. Many non-rusting blade steels make it to the market but they all scarifice edge retention and cutting power. Myth becomes reality with the introduction of H-1 steel. H-1 is a preciptation-hardened alloy with .1% nitrogen that perfporms like carbon in the steel matrix but won't react to chlorinr, making rust. It holds a sharpened edge comparable to premium carbon-based knife steels. Independent testing by Crucible Steel Inc. shows H-1 work-hardens at the cutting edge when processed and sharpened. raising Rc hardness and durability. Simply put, H-1 is ideal for advanced cutting performance in and around fresh and saltwater. Internal knife components are also impervious to rust and pitting.
