Friction Forging®: A Game-Changer

Friction Forged® Technology Steel: Crafted for unparalleled strength, durability, and cutting precision, setting it apart from the rest. The Friction Forging® process results in steel grain structures 10x finer than traditional knife manufacturing methods, thereby creating a harder, thinner, tougher razor sharp edge. The DiamondBlade knives will outperform any other knife by 10 times – or better – guaranteed. Read More
Holds a shaving edge 10X longer: This revolutionary forging process creates a finer grain structure, leading to a blade that stays sharp 10 times longer, guaranteed.
Non-Brittle: The finer grain structure also makes the blade more resistant to chipping and breaking even at an unprecedented 65-69 Rc hardness.
Corrosion-Resistant: The forged zone is resistant to corrosion and rust, ensuring your knife stays reliable for years to come.
Easy to Sharpen: Because the blade is ground to a 9 degree (18 degree included) angle, there is less material to remove when sharpening is eventually needed.

Unmatched Quality

American-Made Toughness: Every DiamondBlade Knife is made in the USA with American materials, backed by a lifetime warranty.
CATRA-Tested Sharpness: Each blade undergoes rigorous testing on a CATRA (Cutlery Allied Trade Research Association) knife sharpness machine to ensure it meets the highest sharpness standards.
D2 Tool Steel: This high-quality steel forms the foundation for the patented Friction Forging® process, resulting in an ultra-hard edge (65-69 Rc) with an 18-degree (included) sharpening angle.
Full Tang Construction: Built for strength and reliability, fixed blade DiamondBlade knives feature a full tang construction, providing the necessary backbone for consistent performance in the field.
