The Exceptional Properties of 52100 Bearing Steel
52100 bearing steel is a high-carbon alloy steel known for its excellent wear resistance, toughness, and ability to retain a sharp edge. 52100 steel exhibits a fine grain structure, contributing to its impressive strength and durability. The chromium content enhances harden ability and wear resistance, while the high carbon content provides exceptional edge retention. Known for its suitability in bearing applications, 52100 steel has found favor in the knife-making community due to its remarkable performance characteristics. Regular maintenance is necessary to prevent corrosion as 52100 steel is not stainless, but its overall combination of hardness, toughness, and edge retention makes it a desirable choice for high-performance knife blades.

KNIFE CARE
To maintain the quality of your knife, do not store it in the leather sheath for extended periods of time as leather may absorb water and cause rust. After each use, wash and immediately dry the blade and apply WD-40, vegetable oil, or Vaseline to prevent rust. If the blade has already become rusted, use 600 grit sandpaper to remove the rust before applying WD-40, vegetable oil, or Vaseline. To sharpen the blade, use a ceramic rod and hold the knife at a 20-degree angle while gently drawing the blade from the handle end to the tip. Repeat the same process on the other side.
Our custom sheath has been treated with vegetable oil to prevent corrosion, so any stains should not be considered defects.
