Hello knife world! I have another Verde Ranch Hunter in AEB-L to offer this week! What a steel. IYKYK. Don't let the simple chemistry comp fool you. It is about the toughest stainless steel out there, tougher than most low alloy carbon steels, but has better wear resistance and edge retention than low alloy carbon steels. It makes for an excellent blade steel. Of course, geometry cuts and heat treatment determines how long. The knife is made from thin stock, and has a full flat grind terminating in a very thin behind the edge geometry. The heat treatment was done in house, including pre quench, plate quench, cryo, and triple tempers for a final hardness of 63HRC. The blade features a hand rubbed satin finish, and the handle is a beautiful piece of claro walnut. The knife is extremely light and is balanced perfectly for a hunter. AEB-L easily takes a screaming sharp edge, just like carbon steel, and was done on ceramic stones. This knife is equally at home in the kitchen, on the belt for EDC, on the saddle working herds, or for processing game of all sizes. I have a few kitchen knives for sale in the kitchen knife subforum as well. Thank you for your consideration!
