Rust Prevention: Choosing the Best Options for You

Rust Prevention: Choosing the Best Options for You

Here at KPL we are passionate about making sure your knives are properly maintained so you can they’re ready to be used when you need them most! One of our top priorities is preventing harmful rust build up on your pocket knives, fixed blades, and kitchen knives. With very little exception, steel is susceptible to rust. While we know that high carbon steels are more prone to rust build up, even highly corrosion resistant super steels such as Magnacut can develop rust when exposed to the elements and during use. In this article, we will talk a little about some of the reasons why blades can rust as well as the products that we offer to help protect your knives from these rust build up!

The Hinderer Knives Half Track: Small Size, Big Capability

Rick Hinderer is a name that most knife and EDC enthusiasts are familiar with, and for very good reason, he has been designing and making knives for well over 30 years! Rick Hinderer’s designs can be found in the line up of Kershaw Knives, Zero Tolerance Knives, Viper Knives, Gerber Knives, Kabar Knives, and of course his own company Hinderer Knives. Rick has designed both folding knives and fixed blades, and no single design is as iconic as the XM-18 folding knife that has seen a variety of iterations, sizes, and blade grinds. While the XM line is the most well known, Hinderer has many great designs, including a personal favorite of mine the Half Track. Today we will dive into the Hinderer Knives Half Track and see why it is such a great knife!
