  2. The materials used in this knife:

    G-10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate, a type of composite material. It is created by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth, soaking in epoxy resin, and compressing the resulting material under heat until the epoxy cures. It is manufactured in flat sheets, most often a few millimeters thick.

    G-10 is very similar to Micarta and carbon fiber laminates, because they are all resin-based laminates, except that the base material used is glass cloth. G-10 is the toughest of the glass fiber resin laminates and therefore the most commonly used.

    8Cr13MoV (any of the CR series)

    These are Chinese-produced steels that recently started showing up in Chinese-made knives. 9Cr is the top end of the series and is quite good – as good or better than AUS-8. Type 8Cr, the more common formulation, is worse than AUS-8: a little more prone to corrosion and not quite as hard. It is very cheap though, and when ground appropriately it can be a real winner from a value standpoint.

  3. I carry a Victoronix Tinker and have a couple of good straight blades for hunting. It strikes me that if you’re going to run all these knife articles, you might want to run an article or two on sharpening stones once in awhile.
