Zedteq  Knives - Handmade in New Zealand
 
Features of ZeDTEQ Hunting Knives
Materials
* Made of heat treated high carbon steel : a time-proven steel for making quality knives.
* Hardwood handles : a natural material, attractive and durable.

Design and construction
* Hollow ground : gives good cutting ability with ease of sharpening.
*Rebated hidden tang construction : lightweight with good balance.
* Integral steel guard : helps prevent the hand slipping onto the blade.
* Simple, ergonomic handle design : ease of use in different hand positions.
* Flat sided handles : help prevent the knife twisting in the hand.
* A range of designs attractive and useful to the New Zealand hunter.
* Deep pouch type leather sheath : allows quick access yet the knife is held securely.

Heat Treatment
* Hardened and tempered to Rockwell C 58 : good edge holding combined with ease of sharpening.
* Edge quench hardening : the blade is hard where it's needed, but leaving a tough spine.
* Double tempered : improved blade toughness compared to single tempering.
* All heat treating is done in house : complete control over this critical step in manufacture.
* I have a Chemistry PhD with work experience in corrosion and materials science : have studied and understand the heat treating process and other chemical aspects of metals, adhesives and materials.

Quality Control
* All manufacturing is done under one roof : assured quality control.
* Hand made and finished : each knife is individually inspected before release for sale.
* Extensive R&D including destructive testing : design, heat treatment and production process has been verified thoroughly before manufacture has been started.
