PRODUCT INFORMATION

WHAT STEEL ARE THE KNIVES MADE FROM?

WILL THE HOLES IN THE SHEATH FIT MY MOUNTING?

MANUFACTURING PRODUCTS

ARE ATRAX KNIVES HANDMADE?
YES. Most of the work is done manually. Sometimes we cut shapes with a laser or CNC to maintain a similar shape. All cuts on the knife and handles are made by hand.


WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR CUSTOMIZE PRODUCTS?
Customize products are shipped in order of order. The products are made by hand, which makes it a time-consuming process.


WHAT IS THE KNIFE PRODUCTION PROCESS LOOK LIKE?
The process is complicated and long. First, we select the appropriate type of steel to finish the coating. We cut out the shape and holes. We pre-grind the surface. Then we heat treat the steel to obtain the appropriate hardness. In the next stage, we select the handle and grind it until ready. At this stage, we make cuts on the knife. Then we prepare a sheath/holster for each knife separately. Now we can apply a protective coating on steel depending on the order. In the next stage, we sharpen the knife and engrave it. The final stage is the installation of fasteners and quality control.


WHAT HARDNESS DO ATRAX KNIVES HAVE?
We harden knives depending on the type and thickness of steel. All of them are in the range of 56-62 HRC.
