Our Fulltang line is
especially designed for hunters and outdoorsmen. Precision made blades
in every detail. We put a lot of attention
to the grind and can provide four different grinds: Flat (F) Scandi
ground to zero (ScZ).
The
steels available are:
Carbon O1 is a widely used American
knife steel. C 0.90 Mn1.20 Cr 0.50 W 0.50 V 0.20
D2 D2 steel is
one of the best knife steels. It is a tool steel and has very good
hardness and wear resistance, while still maintaining some
rust resistance due to high Chromium content. C 1.55%, Mn 0.3%, Si 0.3%, Cr 12%, Mo
1% Hrc 60- 61
One of my customers has the following tips for
EnZo blades in D2: - if making
other than slicing cuts in soft materials (not including bone or wood
with knots), make sure the blade has a microbevel at the edge, to avoid chipping. This way,
even chopping will cause no problems. - use aluminum oxide
stones/waterstones for sharpening if you want quick results. - this steel is not stainless, so it needs
to be wiped dry if it gets wet. However, D2 will not oxidize as
quickly as simple carbon steel, so your blade will remain bright with minimum
care.

Knives Illustrated: "If I wanted a beautiful knife in a more
traditional pattern that takes a very good edge,
the EnZo Trappers stands head and shoulders above the rest".
Please note
that the blade finish may differ from the picture.
