A tool steel recognized as the best steel for outdoor knife blades.
Originally designed for the manufacture of tools and, in particular, industrial blades, 1.2695 steel joins the exclusive club of steels preferred by cutlers for the manufacture of tactical, survival, hunting and, more generally, outdoor and bushcraft knives.
The harsh conditions and extreme uses of tactical knives demand superior qualities in their steel composition.
Steel 1.2695 meets all the requirements to be the best steel for outdoor knife blades, thanks in particular to its high tungsten content, which considerably enhances its toughness.
A well-balanced composition for knives subjected to the toughest tests.
Composed of carbon steel, which gives knife blades outstanding cutting qualities, a high chromium content for maximum resistance to oxidation, molybdenum, vanadium and, above all, a high tungsten content (2.4%) which gives blades strength and flexibility, preventing breakage even with an exceptional hardness of 62 HRC after quenching, 1.2695 steel ranks as the best steel for outdoor survival knives.
An ideal steel steel for outdoor knife blades.
1.2695 is still the best steel for survival knives, and the brand-new firm UG Tools from Sundern (Germany) has made no mistake.
For the manufacture of its TiNy range of outdoor knives designed for use in extreme conditions, UG Tools has chosen 1.2695 steel for its exceptional qualities and state-of-the-art 3D-printed handle technology.
Knives in the TiNy range are as stable and robust as a full-tang knife of the same length, thanks to their handles made entirely of 3D-printed titanium.
With a combination of a blade in 1.2695 steel, the best steel for survival knives, and a titanium handle, UG tools' outdoor knives combine sturdiness with light weight.
For low-maintenance knives.
The exceptional qualities of 1.2695 steel for outdoor knife blades make it a natural choice for low-maintenance knives.
Minimal, of course, but not totally absent!
After extreme use, the knife may show the beginnings of oxidation, which should be removed as soon as possible.
The blade's cutting edge, despite its robustness, also suffers, even slightly, from normal use and sometimes from accidental encounters with very hard materials. In this case, meticulous resharpening will restore the knife's edge, ideally using a fine-grained sharpening stone.
A steel made for the great outdoors.
A knife made from 1.2695 steel, the best steel for outdoor knife blades, will be a long-lasting and reliable companion for all lovers of nature and the great outdoors, anywhere, in any weather.
Whether you're fishing, hunting, mushroom-picking or simply out for a Sunday hike or a long-distance escapade, you can count on a knife made from Eurotechni 1.2695 steel for outdoor knife blades.
