Custom Made by Alan Harvey

Review by Kyle

100% Made In the USA

Hand Made by Americans Using Only Materials from the USA.

Its Time To Give People What They Want.

I Spared Nothing & the Result was PURE QUALITY.

It starts with Blades & Handles being water jetted in Granger, Indiana.

Then Getting Custom Knife Maker Alan Harvey to Come to Colorado to meet me at Valhalla Cutlery.

Blades are all Custom Hand Ground by Alan Harvey.

The Blades are all Heat Treated & Cryo Treated by Peter's Heat Treat in Meadville, Pennsylvania.

Rockwell of 61.

Solid Nickel Handles were Designed & Custom Hand Made by Alan Harvey.

The Latch is made from Titanium.

The Spacers are made from Carbon Fiber.

The Hardware is Heat Treated Stainless Steel with Allen Head Pivot Screws & Torx Body Screws.

Why Did I use S30V?

It is American Made Steel for One Thing.

CPM S30V is a martensitic powder made stainless steel which was developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Materials Corporation in collaboration with knifemaker Chris Reeve as a knifemaking steel due to its wear and corrosion resistance.

Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides.

In addition, vanadium carbides give the steel a very refined grain which further contributes to the sharpness and toughness of its edge.

Its composition is as follows: Carbon 1.45%, Chromium 14.00%, Vanadium 4.00%, Molybdenum 2.00%.

Knifemakers prefer using CPM S30V because its composition makes it easy to consistently heat treat as well as easier to grind although the carbides wear down the grinder belts.

According to Custom Knifemakers, knife users prefer S30V because it provides a strong blade with a maintainable edge due to the Vanadium carbides.
