Are all ESEE knives diffentially heat treated

[machinest]

What is the rockwell of the spine, grip and edge on esee knives.

 

[jsdvnc]

If I remember correctly, they are 57 rockwell throughout the whole knife.

I think you are confused. They are heat treated to cut through a differential.

hate to keep bringing this up but, the discription cleary states that this knife is differentially treated.

No, the knives are not differentially heat treated.

The very, very early Rowen blades were but it was changed early on. Not even sure there are any differential blades out there.

You're right that the 3rd party vendor states it's differentially treated, but that does not trump the ESEE website where it says they are heat treated to 57 RC.

I haven't cut through a diff' at work, but I've certainly sliced up plenty of RC3-thick belly-pans and other stuff at work with my trusty Izula. Rowen is the man.
