RAVEN WSK and ESK Companion
We are hard at work on the new RAVEN WSK and E.S.K. Companion knife. We are set to launch this set by October 2008. This version is the direct result of customer feedback. The set is made from high carbon steel SKS5 which is very close to 1085 Steel. SKS5 is an Asian steel that is primarily used for circular saw blades and knives. It is an extremely durable high quality steel grade. The RAVEN WSK is an evolved design of the Predator WSK. The ESK Companion is great all around bush knife. Great for camp chores and Everyday Survival Knife needs. The ESK has little secret in the handle, with a space for survival kit. We hope you enjoy the new designs and look forward to bringing out more.
I have been getting questions concerning the steel of the RAVEN and ESK. I wanted to post a great guide to the steel we used. It explains the composition and strength.
We purchased cold rolled steel, cut blanks with WEDM, and CNC ground off of CAD designs.
SKS5 steel is used for Knives, Tools and Saws.
