Laurin PT 90mm Blade

This is a larger blade, would be good for heavy-duty camp chores or skinning. This blade is from Laurin’s “Progressive Tempered” line, which mimics laminated blades without incurring the added thickness of lamination, resulting in a very sharp, very durable blade that slices better than a laminated blade because it is thinner. The progressive tempering results in a blade with an edge hardened to 63 Rockwell, with a body that is softer but more durable.
