1095 Blade Steel
Jeff Morgan works exclusively in 1095, a high-carbon steel known for its excellent hardness and edge retention, thanks to its approximately 0.95% carbon content. It achieves a significant Rockwell hardness of around 55-58 HRC, providing a sharp, durable edge suitable for heavy-duty tasks. 1095 is also prized for its toughness, allowing it to withstand impact and stress without chipping. Primarily used in fixed-blade knives, hunting knives, survival knives, and traditional weapons, 1095 steel offers a good balance of performance and affordability, making it a popular choice among knife makers and enthusiasts. Due to 1095 being a high-carbon steel, we recommend you dry it off completely after use and coat the blade with a thin application of a penetrating-style oil to help stave off corrosion.
Quinn Knives' take:
In my opinion, this is a unique blade shape that still lends itself well to general outdoor use. The choil is a nice detail in the handle, and makes Jeff's already great handle grip feel even better. The 1095 steel is darn tough, and the full-tang had a good amount of width to handle campsite tasks. Paired with the reddish-hue Padauk wood, this knife has a clean overall look.
