Havalon Titan A knife built for Jim Shockey has to be able to do it all – and it does. Introducing the double-folding Jim Shockey Signature Series - Havalon Titan.

The Rebel and the EXP both feature AUS-8 stainless steel blades, cryo-hardened and finished with a black titanium coating for the perfect balance between strength and sharpness. With its origins in the medical industry, Havalon was never really a newcomer to the world of knives.

To offer the best tools, Havalon Knives are made in different parts of the world such as Taiwan, India, and China. The replaceable blades by the brand do not rust due to the absence of carbon. However, for extra sharpness, the traditional non-replaceable blades have some carbon in them.

Havalon Piranta Saw Blades are the first saw blades created for the Piranta line of knives. The saw blades are perfect for small jobs around camp. The Piranta Saw blades were created for the new Havalon Evolve Multi-tool, but will easily snap on to any Piranta handle.

Balisong Knife: Also known as a butterfly knife, this weapon is recognizable by its two handles that rotate around the tang of the blade. John Wick uses this knife in films for quick and precise cuts.

A hawkbill shape resembles its namesake, a hawk's beak, with a sharp downward curve. The inner curve is the one that is sharpened, and the spine is left dull, which allows you to place a finger to guide it. It's typically used for cutting and slicing, and the sharp point can be used to pierce materials.

Obsidian blade What is the sharpest knife material? Knives with an Obsidian blade are considered the sharpest in the world, but this material is not fit for making kitchen knives as they're extremely coarse and brittle.

Custom blade materials for industrial applications can include: High carbon steel: High carbon steel describes steel with a carbon content of 0.55% or above. 1075 and 1095 spring steel: Tempered spring steel 1075 and 1095 are both closely related materials that contain carbon.

In particular, the cities of Solingen, Germany, and Thiers, France almost always come up when discussing the 'best' knives for home cooks and professional chefs alike. The culinary daggers coming out of this region boast heavy, high-quality steel, which grants the user ultimate control over their cutting tasks.

Germany and Japan have been known for their knife making skills for centuries. Both boast some of the most popular knife brands in the world. To make a confident decision when buying a high-quality kitchen knife, you need to know the characteristics that set them apart.

Utility knives usually only expose about 3/4-inch of the blade, so you have a limited cutting depth. Snap-offs retract around a couple of inches if you need to make a deeper cut in something like foam insulation.

Whereas a razor blade is ultra-thin and ultra-sharp, a utility-knife blade is thicker and more sturdy; it's made for heavier cutting.

The stiletto followed the first wave of Italian diaspora to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana during the mid-19th century, where the knife became a popular weapon of gamblers, gang members, and assorted assassins.
