The Condor Dendritic Combat knife is very unique in that it is a one piece state
of the art investment casting. As the knife is cast the molds are put under vacuum,
drawing the molten metal into the mold under pressure, which improves the casting
quality over non-vacuum casting and allows for greater detail.
When the molten 420HC [High
Carbon] stainless steel is cast a process takes place that is called "The
Dendritic Effect" where minute carbide particles are formed through out
the casting particularly at the edge(s). These carbide particles at the edge(s)
improve edge sharpness, edge retention and cutting ability.
The knife is a unique design form world renowned, award winning cutlery and
tool designer Arlan D. Lothe that features dead center balance, double hand
ground, convex polished edges for greater strength and edge retention, built
in hand guard, a blood grove on both sides of the blade, and Condor's unique,
mil-spec UltraBlackC² finish. This is a special black oxide finish that
is actually cooked into the metal at 285ºF. This finish meets and exceeds
several military specifications from the U.S. and other countries around the
world.
