[Duncans EliteForge] Emberclad HSTS, Japan, 64HRC

Welcome to the Emberclad, we went batsh** crazy with this one, the first addition to the EliteForge lineup deserves to be extraordinary. A masterpiece that represents the pinnacle of modern knife technology and craftsmanship. Forged from SKD-11 Supersteel, one of the hardest and most resilient steels on the planet, this blade has been treated to achieve its optimal hardness (64 HRC), maximizing its unparalleled strength and edge retention. The Emberclad showcases a stunning hamon line that not only enhances its aesthetic beauty but also serves as a testament to the artistry and precision behind its creation.

The modified drop point blade deploys effortlessly on ball bearings, providing an incredibly smooth action. Every detail has been meticulously fine-tuned—from the crisp detent to the flawless lock-up—ensuring a rock-solid feel with zero blade play. The knife’s performance is nothing short of perfection.

Complementing the cutting-edge blade is the handle, adorned with gorgeous carbon fiber scales infused with copper, offering both beauty and durability. These scales are paired with flint-knapped titanium bolsters, delivering an artisanal, rugged elegance that sets this knife apart. The flint-knapped texture provides an organic feel and a unique look, elevating the knife to premium status.

The attention to detail continues with a fiddlebacked backspacer featuring intricate linework and an integrated lanyard hole, complete with a stylish skull lanyard attachment. For the ultimate quality finish, the liners and backspacer have been stonewashed, adding to the knife’s durability and refined appearance.
