When you're counting on your knife to perform in demanding conditions, every detail matters. That's why we offer our blades with two exceptional coating options: Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and Cerakote. Both deliver serious performance benefits, but understanding their differences helps you choose the right tool for your specific needs.

Let's be honest: there's a lot of marketing noise out there about blade shapes and knife styles. Every manufacturer wants to convince you their latest design is revolutionary. But the truth is, most of these "innovations" are variations on time-tested geometries that have been proving themselves in the field for generations. What matters isn't the latest trend—it's matching the right fixed blade knife to your actual needs.

This comprehensive guide cuts through the nonsense. We're going to break down every major blade style, from the workhorse hunting knives you see every day to the specialized tactical knives and survival blades that excel in specific roles. By the end, you'll know exactly why a Wharncliffe blade might be perfect for your woodworking projects, when a drop point hunting knife gives you maximum versatility, or how a recurved edge provides the cutting advantage you need.
