Materials

-Blade Steels-
O1 Tool Steel
An excellent blade steel that offers great abrasion resistance, toughness, and deep hardening. Must be kept lubricated to prevent corrosion.
1084/15N20 Damascus
A combination of varying layers of 1084 high-carbon and 15N20 nickle alloy that is forge welded resulting in a pattern that is exposed by etching the blade in a solution of Ferric Chloride. Must be kept lubricated to prevent corrosion.
1095 High Carbon
Great all around high-carbon steel. Must be kept lubricated to prevent corrosion.
D2 Tool Steel
Designed for hard use and offers great corrosion resistance compared to other tool steels. Light lubrication is suggested to prevent corrosion.
**All JG Knives are heat treated and tempered to approx 58-60HRC for high-carbon and tool steels.**
-Handle Materials (Scales)-
Micarta (Phenolic Laminates)
Tough, durable, resistant to corrosion, acids, oils, heat, cold, moisture, compression and impact. Made from layers of natural or man-made fiber usually consisting of; canvas, linen, or paper and bonded with a phenolic resin. Available in a variety of colors that can be layered and shaped in various ways to create very unique patterns.
G10
Tough, durable, resistant to corrosion, acids, oils, heat, cold, moisture, compression and impact. Made from woven layers fiberglass fabric impregnated with epoxy resin. Available in a variety of colors that can be layered and shaped in various ways to create very unique patterns.
Stabilized Wood
Natural wood that is impregnated via a vacuum chamber with an acrylic resin or other agent. Stabilization minimizes cracking, protects against moisture and allows the natural appearance of wood with the toughness of a man-made material.
-Handle Pins-
Brass
Brass drill rod in varying diameters.
Steel
Stainless Steel or High-Carbon drill rod in varying diameters.
Tubes
304 Stainless Steel hollow tubes that allow of lanyard or other materials to be inserted.
Mosaic
A tube with rods inserted of varying shapes resin bonded inside to create a pattern or shape within.
-Sheath Materials-
Kydex T
An acrylic/PVC thermoplastic that is easily formed and offers great impact resistance, durability, ease of cleaning.
Boltaron 4335
A PVC/Acrylic alloy offering extreme durability, chemical resistance, form-ability and consistent surface quality. 
Leather
8-9oz cowhide sheaths, vegetable tanned and finished.
