I polished my voyager blade tang, washers and liners and it feels like its riding on glass. Such a smooth beast.

Annealing is a process to heat up the steel to a certain point and let cool very slowly, usually in hours. It removes the tempering of a heat treated steel object. In this case, A means Aichi Steel Co offers the steel in annealed state. Hence who ever makes the blade does all the heat treat, most probably.

That model … those models … can’t be beaten… Thin clip point blade voyager is very capable and the price is hard to believe… low. Strong and won’t fail… too! And I have had the high end knives … none of them can come close to doing what your knives can do! Taiwan. Yes.

Excellent video👍I only have the large clippoint - such a great knife, especially for the price like you said. That Vacquiero (spelling?) looks downright mean... perfect self defense tool
