The Iron & Resin Field Knife has a full tang blade for strength, it’s made from D2 stainless steel, this is a steel alloy that is high in both carbon and chromium, making it both strong and highly-resistant to corrosion.
Iron & Resin – A History Speedrun
Iron & Resin was founded by Thom Hill in 2011. He was raised on the East Coast but moved west to attend college in Southern California and quickly fell in love with the area. He made many trips to Baja, Mexico and built a life for himself in California surfing, riding motorcycles, adventuring in vintage 4x4s, and sailing.
Hill started Iron & Resin to create a line of products that were made by hand using traditional techniques, developing gear that will last a lifetime or more as a contrast to the pervasive trend of cheap, disposable, and forgettable ephemera that we’re surrounded with on a daily basis.
