Field-ass questions (FAQ)
Straight answers from Dex. No fluff. No filters.
German Stainless Steel 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) is a high-quality, corrosion-resistant steel known for its excellent edge retention, hardness, and ease of sharpening. It’s a trusted choice in premium European knives. DexSteel, used by Dexter-Russell, is durable and easy to maintain but less refined in edge performance and corrosion resistance. German 1.4116 offers superior sharpness and long-term performance. It’s the choice for professionals who demand precision.
Olive wood is denser, more durable, and features a beautiful, rich grain that makes each piece unique. Beech wood is lighter, plainer, and more common. Olive wood offers greater strength and natural elegance, making it perfect for a premium look and feel.
Branding is only available on the Branded Beast version. The Kick Ass Knife does not support custom logos.
It ain’t made in a kitchen.
Full-tang German steel. Olive wood handle. Built-in measuring ruler. Tether-ready.
Field-tested by guys who cut duct board for a living, not dinner. This is a knife that actually gives a damn.
Real olive wood. Naturally oily, water-resistant, and tough as hell.
No oiling is required, especially since we don’t want it to transfer to the insulation. Just use it.
Yup. It’s hardened to 55 to 57 HRC. Holds an edge but won’t fight you when it’s time to hone. Use a Norton rod, a whetstone, or your shop’s sharpener. Just skip your buddy’s belt sander.
It already has. It’s been stabbed into duct board, dropped off ladders, clipped to sweat-soaked belts, and rinsed in coffee. Still cuts clean. Still kicks ass.
If it breaks while being used for its intended purpose, we’ll replace it. If you use it to pry open a manhole cover, as a screwdriver, or to stir concrete, that’s on you. But real use? Real work? We stand behind it. Full stop.
Easy. If this knife doesn’t pay for itself (for mechanical insulation workers only). We mean that. Use it for a month. If you’re not saving time, avoiding injuries, or looking cooler than the safety guy, we’ll take it back. No excuses. No restocking fees. Just don’t lose the damn thing first.
Even better, we pack them in ready-to-handout boxes. Better yet, add your logo and they’ll arrive in custom holiday packaging that shows your appreciation.
Each knife ships in a Kick Ass gift box, ready to hand out at the safety meeting, Christmas party, or Friday beer drop.
They’ll think it’s a bonus. You’ll know it’s a tool.
Hell yes, you can. That’s the whole idea behind the Branded Beast.
We’ll customize the sheath with your company logo, team name, or custom message, whatever mark you want. Round, oval, square, or rectangular? No problem. We’ll drop it into a nickel frame, send you proofs, and get it made your way.
Cost: $30 per knife for custom branding
Minimum order: 20 units
Deadline: Orders must be in by September 1 to guarantee December 1 delivery for your holiday event.
Each knife ships in a custom holiday box, bold, metal, and built to last.
This isn’t just a knife. It’s your message in steel.
Give it to your team. Show ’em they matter.
You kick ass. So should your gear.
Hell no.
Dexter’s a kitchen knife. The Kick Ass Knife is tougher, slimmer, smarter, and jobsite-ready. It’s got the edge, the grip, the tether point — and it won’t snap when you drop it. We respect Dexter. We just built something better.
Hell yes. That’s the Branded Beast.
We’ll laser your logo into a nickel-framed badge on the sheath, in a round, square, or other shape. You get proofs. You approve it. Then we ship it to you in a custom gift box. Minimum 20 units. $30 per knife to get it started. Order by September 1 for delivery on December 1.
Whatever you’ve got, round, square, black and white, full color, line art. We’ll clean it up, size it right, and send you a proof before burning it in.
If it looks like crap, we’ll tell you and help fix it.
