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.
- Blade: Wipe clean after use.
- Maintenance: Check blade, rivets, and wrist strap regularly.
- Oiling: No oiling required, especially because you don't want it transferring to insulation.
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.
