Those researching for a custom knife will eventually discover that Mercworx knives are created by a single knife maker that does all of the fitting, sanding, and fabrication by hand. They are designed as fighting knives for professionals in the field. Mercworx knives are better made and more highly finished than different craftsmen. Mercworx larger tactical knives are created of quarter inch thick steel called 154cm, and you can also choose to upgrade to the S30V steel. 154cm is the best steel for hard used knives. Even the smallest of the blades will make a large wound due to the thickness of the blade. By choosing to fine sand the blades rather than bead blasting, you will discover that this makes the knife a breeze to clean.
Mercworx knives are quite comfortable due to the manufacturers complete design and craftsmanship. The knives are outstanding because of the design, balance and feel. The Mercworx Sniper , Equatorian and Orion feature Mercworx's unique upswept thumb ramp on the top of the knives. So when you push against an object the blade won't slice your palm. The knives are made with protrusions that keep your hand from sliding foreword. The handle is made of standard black micarta which is fixed to the handle, and will withstand sub-zero temperatures. Mercworx knives also have a large blade (land area), which makes the knife heavier for chopping and prying.
The knives have a smooth handle because it provides firm retention and also is a comfortable tool in your grip. Rather than selecting just one of these qualities, Mercworx spent much time designing a handle that does both. The knives feature a thumb stop, to make the knives more usable. The user can wield the knife in the extended saber grip by pushing down on the radius thumb stop to align the blade with the centerline of his forearm. The knife will seem to be an extension of your forearm. The flared tip on the blades are designed such to make maximum damage when it penetrates. A hollow point bullet performs the same way.
