Rock Creek Utility/Survival Knife with Clip Point Style Blade.
Forged from a high-alloy steel (HWS-1) proprietary to Hanwei, with an edge hardness of 58-60HRc and excellent corrosion resistance, edge-holding and ease of sharpening. The blade thickness is 1/4”, and the blade is saber ground. The Tang is very substantial, terminating in a short thread at the pommel. The stacked-leather handle employs bark-tanned leather and is secured by a sleeve nut at the pommel. The guard and pommel are investment cast in stainless steel. The Sheath is made of bark-tanned leather with stainless steel reinforcing at the wear points and has a strap-and-snap retainer.
Hanwei's introduction of its 'Rock Creek' brand of knives marks a commitment to producing knives with the same standards of quality and innovation as its renowned line of swords. Owner and former custom knifemaker Paul Chen's many years of knife design and knifemaking experience, combined with Hanwei's steelmaking and forging capabilities, form the ideal background for the venture.
The name of Hanwei, and that of its founder Paul Chen, engender an image of fine functional swords and historical weaponry. Based in Dalian, China, Hanwei manages to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern tooling and metallurgy, in a way that enables it to supply a world-wide market while meeting or exceeding the quality of custom-made products.
