KnifeMakersDatabase.com would like you to take a moment to welcome our newest knifemaker to become a part of our growing site, Craig Mann of Mann Made Knives. Craig is a new Canadian knifemaker who has been honing his skills for the past few years in order to come to this point: where he can offer to both the using and collecting public, a knife that you can depend on, one that will not falter when it matters most, one that satisfies visually, ergonomically, and above all of course, PERFORMANCE-WISE.
Craig Mann has created a line of super-cool, high-performance tactical, fighting / combat and self-defense knives for a variety of situations, as well as knives with a broader spectrum in mind such as the #002 Hunter. When it comes to combining modern technology and knifemaking, Craig Mann's knives take it to the next level and beyond that. I am speaking not only visually, but also about the quality and durability of the materials selected for use. These knives are STRONG! A chain is only as strong as its weakest link... The advanced materials and construction techniques used in the creation of Mann Made Knives is second to none.
Craig's knives are mostly made using O1 Tool Steel, chosen by the maker for its incredible toughness, strength, and its ability to develop a keen edge with superior edge retention properties. Of course every steel aims at balancing these aspects, sometimes sacrificing one strength for another. It is important that the steel used by the maker exhibits the properties required depending on the intended use of the knife. Craig Mann's knives are made to last - indefinitely. I would rate this particular model practically indistructable, used for its intended purpose of course.
At KMD, we focus on performance. Craig Mann had no problem convincing us that his knives belong on our site. His designs are innovative and original, his grinds are as clean as ice and his blades are sharper than just about ANYTHING I've seen - and not to be boarish, but I've seen quite alot... Seriously - sharp is not the word at all... If you're looking for a knife that will both perform and impress, than Mann Made Knives are for you. Pick one up, and we know you'll agree.
