About Wick Ellerbe
Over my many years of making knives, I have used a number of different steels, from old files, to high tech stainless. For the early type knives I make now, I have settled on 01 tool steel for it's superior quality and edge holding abilities. There are a few different versions of the 01 and I have chosen the top grade which among other alloys, contains vanadium and tungsten. Along with a carbon content of about 1%, this makes for a very tough, fine grained and abrasion resistant steel, which equates to a very high degree of edge holding ability, when compared to the more common and much less expensive steels available. However, I make no claims as to producing the greatest handmade knives in the modern world, or that they will cut apart Mack trucks and perform the magical feats of "Excaliber". I only claim that they are made from the best of available materials, and to the best of my ability.
