All MMHW knives, swords, and axes are made "to order" for hard use with 5160 high carbon steel and are finished with a non-glare, rust-resistant parkerization. Bead blast finish is available upon request. Deep hollow grinds and great geometry make these knives excel at cutting or chopping.

MMHW products are guaranteed for life against defects in materials or workmanship. We will repair or replace [at our option] any defective merchandise at no charge. Please contact us via email or phone for return instructions.
All sheaths and holsters are handcrafted to imperfection by me, a US Army Vet. No two are the same nor are they perfect but I do try and care! I take individual photos of each item and you get what's in the photos!
Most knives are hand ground and sharpened so to get the very best fit with Kydex the best option is buy you knife with the sheath made to the exact knife and that is what I do!!
5160
A steel popular with forgers, it is extremely popular now and a very high-end steel. It is essentially simple spring steel with chromium added for hardenability. It has good edge holding, but is known especially for its outstanding toughness. Often used for swords (hardened in the low 50s Rc) because of its toughness, and is also used for hard use knives (hardened up near the 60s Rc). Carbon-0.56-0.64%, Manganese-0.75-1.00%, Chromium-0.70-0.90%
