Here?s a knife designed by Russ Kommer for special forces units. He knows that operators want a knife that gets right to the point. So there are no bells or whistles nothing to break or fall off. Instead it is a single hot-forged piece of carbon steel that is just about indestructible. We call it the Kommer Integral Fixed Blade or I.F.B.?Steels in their as-cast or bar stock state have randomly oriented crystals and occasional defects such as voids and inclusions which can create weak areas. In hot forging we heat 6168CrV carbon steel to 1000 degrees F and force it into a die under pressure. The resulting plastic deformation refines the grain structure and improves the physical properties of the metal including its strength ductility and toughness. After finishing and heat treatment we arrive at 59 to 61 Rockwell hardness for great edge-holding ability. Finally the knife is given a black EDP non-reflective coating to resist corrosion.The
