I bought the blanks from Premuim Knife Supply. I do not know the Mfg. I would assume overseas, as a blank made in the USA would be well over $50 just for the blank. They guarantee 440C steel and hardened to Rockwell specs.
EDIT: There were no markings on the knives or boxes to show country of origin. I understand they have them made in Japan and China. The whole knife is hardened, not just the blade, as I could hardly mark it with a file. I was going to do file work, but the steel was too hard to do file work properly. They are "factory sharp", but you would still need to finish it to your own standards for sharpness.
On this earth reside many craftsmen. Few have the talent of our friend "Old-Lumens".
Thanks for a beautiful knife Justin!! ... LOOK at this piece of art.
All that all being said and very true... There is no heatsink, no switch I can locate... nor a single solitary place for a battery. Not even an LED! I like the thing but I can tell it is going to be a problem to operate!! Again! Thanks Justin. Dan.
I like this one enough that it's worth one more nick! Ha! Dan.
