The blades of these knives are made from L6 - High Carbon Steel. This is a special steel that comes from commercial saw blades, a high grade spring steel that is heat, bend, and stress resistant. It is hardened to 58 on the Rockwell Scale, has been work tempered and will hold a very sharp edge.

The blades are cut out of the recycled saw blade and shaped, then ground by a flat grind method. These knives are meant to be used, hence the blades are not highly polished. The hand grinding marks are left on purpose showing that these blades have been handmade. Our goal in making knives is to make the best and most useful knives available anywhere. The best American made knife design, steel, wood, the sharpest, simply the BEST.

American Craftsmanship is scarce today and a well made knife is both a thing of beauty and a piece of functional collectable artwork.

Jason M. Bundy hand picks rare and unusual pieces of different Indiana hardwoods and makes the handles. Each knife comes with a fine handmade leather sheath and includes a bottle of custom honing oil and a small fine grained honing stone to keep your knife razor sharp. Wiping with a light layer of 3-In-One Oil after each use is recommended. Over 100 years of combined field experience and knowledge has gone into the making of these fine knives. With proper care they will last a lifetime.
