Sandrin TCK 416 – Tungsten Carbide Knife (Free Shipping)

The only difference between this version and the more expensive TCK is that the handle is made of 416 Stainless Steel instead of Carbon Fiber and Titanium. Otherwise, everything else is the same.

The Sandrin TCK 416 features the world's first knife with a Tungsten Carbide blade. The Sandrin Tungsten Carbide blades are the most technically advanced cutting blades ever crafted by man and vastly outperform traditional steel blades. Sandrin knives are finished with the kind of precision and expertise that only comes with 40 years of experience with carbide.

The TCK 416 is a perfect combination of hardness and strength whose extraordinary precision can be measured to lightband tolerances. The knife is perfect dimensionally and features tolerance parallelism of 0.0003 inches on the blade, which is far beyond anything that has ever been done with a steel knife.

Sandrin's patented Polyhedral Tungsten Carbide eliminates the brittleness which characterizes traditional grades of Tungsten Carbide, and with an outstanding hardness of HRC 71, simply put, they're nothing short of the hardest and most durable knife blades that have ever been made. Not only does that provide for an extraordinarily hard edge, but also the peace of mind of knowing it will remain that way after repeated use without showing any wear.

In addition to the scientific qualities of the TCK 416, its styling can be described as The Gentleman's Folder, as its looks are sleek and sophisticated. Matching just as well with jeans or a tuxedo, the TCK 416 is both fashionable and a useful tool for everyday carry. The knife is so slim and light that you'll forget that you're carrying it, but there when you need it, such as when dining out and slicing a steak nearly paper thin. It weighs a minimal 62 grams, which is about the same as 10 US Quarters. It's also less than a quarter inch thick without the clip, and less than a half inch with the clip.

Some additional knife specifications include:

• 0.035" thick Wharncliffe blade style
• 42 degree cutting edge with a flat hollow grind
• Manual fold with frame/liner lock
• Mirror polished blade
