What We Implement
Our Advanced Vacuum Heat Treatment Technology provides an oxygen-free environment that preserves the chemical integrity of premium steels, ensuring that every blade we produce meets the dual mandates of mechanical excellence and optical-grade surface finish.
Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten Hot-Work Steels (H-Series)
H21 / H24 / H26: Used for blades that cut hot metals. They resist "heat checking" (cracking from thermal cycles).
Special Purpose Tungsten Steels (F-Series)
F1 / F2: "Water-hardening" tungsten steels. Can significantly achieve extreme hardness but are brittle; often used for edge coating of paper-cutting and finishing tools.
Tungsten Shock-Resisting (S-Series)
S1 A sub-model containing Tungsten used for heavy shears and cold-heading tools where both impact and wear occur.

D-Series (High Carbon, High Chrome)
D2: The international standard for recycling and granulator blades.
D3: A sub-model with even higher carbon for better wear but less toughness.
A-Series (Air-Hardening)
A2: Known for "dimensional stability" (it doesn't warp during heat treat). Excellent for precision machine knives.
S-Series (Shock-Resistant)
S7: The go-to model for wood-chipper blades, demolition shears, and jackhammer bits. It is designed to bend rather than shatter
TOOL STEEL
M-Series (Molybdenum-Based)
The most prevalent HSS class due to cost-efficiency and toughness.
General Purpose: M1, M2, M7, M10.
High-Vanadium (Abrasion Resistant): M3, M4.
Cobalt-Enriched (High Heat): M35, M42.
T-Series (Tungsten-Based)
Known for extreme "red hardness" and metallurgical stability.
Standard Tungsten: T1, T2.
Cobalt/Vanadium Models: T4, T5, T6, T8, T15.
PM (Powder Metallurgy) Super-HSS
Manufactured via gas atomization for superior isotropic mechanical properties.
High Performance: CPM M4, CPM Rex 76, Rex 121.
High-Speed Steel (HSS)
Plain Carbon (10xx Series)
Used for thin-gauge, high-sharpness blades.
Medium Carbon: 1045, 1060.
High Carbon: 1075, 1085, 1095. (1095 is the standard for spring-tempered industrial blades).
Water-Hardening (W-Series)
Strictly high-carbon steels that are water-quenched for maximum surface hardness.
Models: W1, W2, W5.
Specialized Alloy Carbon Steels
52100 (Bearing Steel): High chromium-carbon alloy for superior fatigue life in circular knives.
L-Series (Special Purpose)
Nickel-alloyed carbon steel for extreme toughness.
Models: L2, L6.
F-Series (Tungsten-Carbon): High-tungsten models for specialized finishing edges.
Models: F1, F2.
