The Reaper bushcraft knife has an overall length of 71 cm (27.95 inches) and a net weight of 1250 g (44.09 ounces). This knife's blade has an edge hardness of 60 HRC.
This knife's blade is made from 80CrV2 steel, a high-carbon tool steel alloy containing approximately 0.8% carbon, 0.5% chromium, 0.4% manganese, and 0.2% vanadium, which provides excellent toughness, wear resistance, and impact strength.
This knife's blade undergoes a differential heat treatment process by selectively hardening the cutting edge while keeping the spine softer to increase overall toughness and reduce brittleness. This is achieved by edge quenching, where only the edge is rapidly cooled in a quenching medium, followed by tempering stages to achieve the desired hardness and structural integrity.
This knife's blade has a diamond-like carbon coating applied via physical vapor deposition (PVD), where carbon is vaporized in a vacuum chamber and deposited as a thin film on the blade surface, forming a hard, low-friction layer with sp3 and sp2 bonded carbon structures that enhances wear resistance, reduces friction, and provides corrosion protection.
This knife features a 24K gold-plated inlay applied through electroplating, where the surface is prepared, a nickel strike is applied, and then 24K gold is electrodeposited to create a luxurious, durable decorative element.
This knife's handle is constructed from G10, a composite material formed by stacking layers of fiberglass cloth impregnated with epoxy resin, then compressing them under high pressure and heat to create a durable, lightweight laminate with high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to water and chemicals, and non-slip properties in various conditions.
This knife's tsuba (guard) is made from aviation-grade 7075 aluminum alloy, which primarily consists of zinc as the main alloying element, offering high tensile strength (up to 572 MPa), toughness, and fatigue resistance. This alloy is heat-treated with T6 temper for enhanced mechanical properties, providing strength with minimal weight.
This knife's sheath is formed from Kydex 2.0, a thermoplastic acrylic-polyvinyl chloride alloy, through a thermoforming process where the sheet is heated in an oven, molded around the blade for a custom fit, and then cooled to retain shape, resulting in a waterproof, impact-resistant enclosure equipped with attachment hardware for carrying.
