1095 High Carbon Steel
1095 High Carbon Steel is a premium carbon-rich steel widely used in handmade knives, survival blades, hunting knives, and traditional Viking-style weapons. The “1095” designation means the steel contains approximately 0.95% carbon, giving it exceptional hardness, edge retention, and cutting performance. The hardness of 1095 High Carbon Steel typically ranges between 56–60 HRC (Rockwell Hardness Scale)
Known for its strength and razor-sharp edge, 1095 steel is favoured by bladesmiths and outdoor enthusiasts who need a durable and reliable knife for heavy-duty use.
- Excellent edge retention

- Superior cutting and slicing performance
- Ideal for bushcraft, survival, hunting, and combat knives
Rosewood Handle
A rosewood handle is a knife handle made from dense, premium hardwood known for its rich grain patterns, strength, and natural beauty. Rosewood is commonly used in handmade knives because it provides a comfortable grip, long-lasting durability, and an elegant traditional appearance.

- Naturally resistant to moisture and wear
- Comfortable ergonomic grip
- Attractive dark wood grain and polished finish
- Adds a premium and classic look to handmade knives
