Real Steel Black Thorn FAQ

Designed by Ivan D. Braginets, the Real Steel Black Thorn is a modern, high-performance fixed blade built for rugged outdoor utility. Explore the key design details, handle options, and performance features that set this series apart.

What steel is used on the Real Steel Black Thorn?
The Real Steel Black Thorn features a 4.65-inch blade made from K110 tool steel, which is a highly precise, name-brand formulation of D2 steel. This high flat-ground blade offers excellent durability and edge retention, making it a reliable choice for hard-use outdoor tasks.
How do the handle materials and bolsters vary across the series?
The Black Thorn series offers two distinct handle configurations. The canvas Micarta handle variants feature premium titanium bolsters, while the G10 handle variants are designed without a bolster for a more streamlined, clean aesthetic.
Is the Real Steel Black Thorn a full-tang knife?
Yes, the Black Thorn uses a full-tang construction where the blade steel runs the entire length of the handle. The handle scales sandwich and envelope the sides of the tang, and there is a small section of protruding steel at the pommel that provides dual lanyard holes.
What kind of sheath is included with this knife?
Every variant of the Black Thorn includes a narrow, low-profile black leather sheath. This design minimizes bulk on your hip and features both a standard belt loop and a dangler attachment to accommodate different carrying preferences.
How does the blade design enhance cutting control?
The Black Thorn features a crowned, rounded spine for comfort and a minimal, vestigial finger guard at the front of the handle. This reduced guard allows you to choke up directly behind the blade's heel, giving you exceptional control for precise, detailed carving or slicing.
