Description: This exceptional Explorer was made by Argentinian brothers Claudio, Ariel, and Marcelo Sobral.
The blade was hand forged from K720 carbon steel. This tool steel is made by Bohler in Asutria. It is a very tough and strong oil hardened high carbon tool steel. The chemical composition allows it to be hardened to a high degree while maintaining ductity and toughness. At the same time, it is easy to sharpen to a razor sharp edge. A forced mustard patina provides a non-reflective finish.
Contoured carbon fiber handle scales are set on black Micarta liners. A distal tapered full tang provides superior structural strength. The scales are set in place with two stainless steel Corby hidden bolt rivets. This knife has a perfect balance. It is among the most comfortable handles you will ever feel.
Explorer is accompanied by leather storage case and a hand tooled, hand stitched custom leather sheath by Marcelo Solbral.
Absolutely exceptional work throughout!
