1A - What is a custom knife?
In short a custom knife is a knife where the customer is allowed to choose different options associated with the build of the knife. Custom knives go beyond just choosing a color; they often have many options, in our case it includes handle materials used, liners used, the hardware and metal used, the appearance of the blade. It often even includes options that allow the customer to choose their type of steel and cutting edge “grind”, affecting the performance of the knife to better suit their intended purposes.
简而言之，定制刀是一种允许客户选择与刀的制造有关的不同选项的刀。 定制刀不仅仅是选择一种颜色；它们通常有许多选项，在我们的例子中，它包括使用的手柄材料，使用的内衬，使用的硬件和金属，刀片的外观。 它甚至常常包括允许客户选择他们的钢和刀刃 “研磨 “类型的选项，影响刀的性能，以更好地满足他们的预期目的。
Currently we are only taking custom orders for one model at a time, and right now that model is the Explorer. Click this link for more information.
目前，我们一次只接受一个型号的定制订单，现在这个型号是探险家。 点击这个链接了解更多信息。
1 - What is bushcraft?
The term bushcraft is often associated with wilderness survival skills. The term, however, is actually broader. We like the definition of bushcraft as ’the skills associated with using nature as a resource, namely as a hiker, camper, or explorer of the wilderness’.
Bushcraft 这一术语通常与野外生存技能相关。然而，该术语实际上更为广泛。我们喜欢将 Bushcraft 定义为 “与利用自然作为资源相关的技能，即作为徒步旅行者、露营者或野外探险者”.
Bushcraft is practiced and implemented by any outdoorsmen; campers, backpackers, fishermen, hunters, explorers, etc., but of course it originated in the most primal era of human existence.
任何户外运动者都可以练习和实施丛林技术；露营者、背包客、渔民、猎人、探险家等，当然，它起源于人类生存的最原始时代。
_Example bushcraft skills include; whittling wood, splitting wood, fire making, shelter building, camp furniture building, tool creation (wooden tent stakes, walking sticks, pot suspension rigs, spoons, etc.), building natural boats/rafts, wild plant foraging, primitive navigation, tracking, fishing, hunting, trapping, weather forecasting, and the list goes on
Bushcraft 的例子包括：削木头、劈木头、生火、建造住所、建造营地家具、创造工具（木制帐篷桩、手杖、锅的悬挂装置、勺子等）、建造天然船/工艺品、野生植物 、原始导航、[[跟踪]] 、[[钓鱼]] 、[[狩猎]] 、诱捕、天气预报，等等。_
2 - Choosing a knife model 选择刀形
Being dominantly a bushcraft knife company, most of our knife models are geared towards bushcraft use. Therefore, our knives are versatile enough to handle whatever you would throw at it in the wilderness. Some knives are designed for versatility, while other models have a more specific task in mind.
作为一个主要的BC刀公司，我们的大部分刀型都是面向BC使用的。 因此，我们的刀具是多功能的，足以处理你在野外的任何任务。 有些刀是为多功能而设计的，而其他型号的刀则有更具体的任务需要考虑。

**3 - Blade steel type **刀片钢材类型
We offer three different steel types; O1 high carbon tool steel, CPM 3V high toughness alloy tool steel, and CPM S35VN stainless alloy steel. It is worth first noting that we only use the best steel in the world for our knives, so regardless of what you choose, you will be happy. Not every model is always available in every steel type.
我们提供三种不同的钢材；O1高碳工具钢，CPM 3V高韧性合金工具钢，以及CPM S35VN不锈钢合金钢。 首先值得注意的是，我们的刀具只使用世界上最好的钢材，所以无论你选择什么，你都会感到满意。 并非每个型号都有每种钢种可供选择。
Quick Guide: Our recommendation is that if you mostly do woodworking with your knife, we suggest O1 tool steel paired with a scandi grind. If you mostly use your knife for things other than woodworking (food prep, hunting, utility tasks like cutting rope, etc.), we recommend CPM 3V steel paired with a convex grind. If rust is a real concern for you, then we recommend using CPM S35VN stainless steel paired with any grind. There are benefits, and unique changes in performance, when you change up the rules, such as placing a scandi on CPM 3V, or a convex on O1. And our customers often do that. But if you’re a tad confused, we would recommend sticking to our above guidelines.
快速指南：我们的建议是，如果你主要是用你的刀做木工，我们建议O1工具钢配以斯堪研磨。 如果你主要用刀做木工以外的事情（准备食物、打猎、切割绳子等实用任务），我们建议用CPM 3V钢搭配凸面研磨。 如果生锈是你真正关心的问题，那么我们建议使用CPM S35VN不锈钢与任何磨具搭配。 当你改变规则时，会有一些好处，以及性能上的独特变化，例如在CPM 3V上放置一个斯堪，或在O1上放置一个凸面。 而我们的客户经常这样做。 但是，如果你有点困惑，我们会建议坚持我们的上述准则。
O1 tool steel. O1 is considered the ‘gold standard’ steel for bushcraft use. This steel is renowned for its ability to take a very sharp edge. O1 seems to hold an edge incredibly long - specifically when it is paired up with a scandi grind and used in woodworking tasks (push-cuts and batonning). This has to do with a blend of the chemical makeup of O1 and the fact that it has a very fine grain structure, which lends itself well to the very ‘absolute’ edge of a scandi. 59 RC hardness
O1工具钢。 O1被认为是用于丛林探险的 “黄金标准 “钢。 这种钢以其能够获得非常锋利的边缘而闻名。 O1似乎能保持令人难以置信的长时间的边缘–特别是当它与斯堪研磨配对并用于木工任务（推切和接力）时。 这与O1的化学构成以及它具有非常细的纹理结构这一事实有关，这使它能够很好地适应斯堪的非常 “绝对 “的边缘。 59 RC硬度
CPM 3V. This steel’s primary advantage is that is has high toughness. Basically ‘toughness” covers shock absorption and unlikeliness to chip or break. It is also very abrasion resistant, and very rust resistant (between O1 and S35VN). It holds an edge very well, but is also the hardest to sharpen. The toughness of CPM 3V is mostly taken advantage of when used with thinner edge geometries, such as convex or flat grinds. 60-61 RC hardness
CPM 3V。 这种钢的主要优点是具有高韧性。 基本上，”韧性 “包括吸收冲击和不可能出现碎片或断裂。 它也非常耐磨，而且非常防锈（在O1和S35VN之间）。 它能很好地保持刃口，但也是最难磨的。 CPM 3V的韧性在使用较薄的刃口几何形状时，如凸面或平面研磨时，大多被利用。60-61 RC硬度
CPM S35VN. This is one of the only, if not the only, steels designed specifically for use on high-end knives. This is our new stainless option, and damn does it make a fine knife steel. This steel is recommended for anyone who fears that their knife is going to be extra prone to rusting, such as those who live in very wet environments, or for those who simply don’t want to have to worry about corrosion. 60-61 RC hardness
CPM S35VN。 这是唯一的，如果不是唯一的，专门设计用于高端刀具的钢。 这是我们的新的不锈钢选择，该死的是它是一种优良的刀钢。 这种钢推荐给那些担心自己的刀会特别容易生锈的人，比如那些生活在非常潮湿的环境中的人，或者那些根本不想担心腐蚀的人。 60-61 RC硬度
4 - Blade Thickness 刀片厚度
Quick Guide: We only offer one blade thickness for each model.
快速指南。我们只为每个型号提供一种刀片厚度。
Occasionally certain models are offered in multiple blade thicknesses. Basically a thinner steel is lighter and will slice and carve better. A thicker steel is tougher and will split wood and chop better.
偶尔，某些型号会提供多种厚度的刀片。 基本上，较薄的钢更轻，可以更好地切开和雕刻。 较厚的钢更坚硬，能更好地劈开木材和砍伐。
We have recently been dialing back on blade thickness options, allowing customers only one thickness selection - the one which we recommend for that given model. We may offer thickness options in the future, but we are unsure at this time.
我们最近一直在减少刀片的厚度选择，只允许客户选择一种厚度–我们为该型号推荐的一种厚度。 我们可能在未来提供厚度选择，但我们目前还不确定。
**5 **Blade Edge Grind 刀刃研磨
The two most popular edge grind styles for use in bushcraft are scandi and convex. We also offer flat grinds with a secondary bevel. Not every model is offered with both options
Bushcraft中最受欢迎的两种磨边方式是斯堪和凸磨。 我们还提供带有二级斜面的平磨。 不是每个型号都提供这两种选择
Quick Guide: Scandi grinds are better at woodworking. Convex grinds are better at everything else. A flat grind performs most similar to a convex.
快速指南。斯堪研磨在处理木头方面更胜一筹。 凸面研磨在其他方面都比较好。 平磨的性能与凸磨最相似。
Scandi grinds are short, flat, single-bevel grinds, which primarily excel in woodworking tasks; wood power-cuts, fine whittling, and splitting wood via batonning. The majority of what most people do in bushcraft is woodworking, hence the popularity of the scandi grind. Because the stock blade thickness runs through the majority of the blade, scandi grinds are very tough and break-resistant. The short, wedge-shaped grind has a pronounced shoulder, which helps split wood apart when batonning, but also makes it perform worse at slicing oriented chores (such as food / meat prep).
斯坎研磨是一种短而平的单斜面磨，主要擅长于木头作业；木材动力切割，精细削切，以及通过棒击劈开木材。 大多数人在丛林探险中所做的事情都是木工，因此扫描磨的普及。 由于库存的刀片厚度贯穿了刀片的大部分，所以斯堪研磨是非常坚韧和耐破的。 短小的楔形磨具有一个明显的肩部，这有助于在接力棒时将木材劈开，但也使它在以切片为主的杂务（如食物/肉类准备）方面表现较差。
Convex grinds are thin, full-height grinds, which are dominantly flat and gradually get steeper towards the cutting edge. Convex grinds primarily excel in slicing oriented tasks; meat & food prep, filleting fish, cutting rope, etc., and penetrate the deepest when chopping. When it comes to wood carving, most people find that convex grinds are a bit less aggressive and harder to control than a scandi. In our case, however, even our convex grinds are geared towards woodworking more so than your typical convex grind, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
凸面研磨是薄而全高的研磨剂，主要是平的，并逐渐向切割边缘陡峭化。 凸面磨主要擅长以切片为主的工作；肉类和食品准备、切鱼片、切绳子等，在切菜时穿透力最强。 当涉及到木头雕刻时，大多数人发现，凸面磨的攻击性较低，比斯堪更难控制。 然而，在我们的案例中，即使是我们的凸面研磨也比你的典型凸面研磨更适合于木工，所以这不应该是一个问题。
Flat grinds are very similar to convex grinds in most regards. The difference is that flat grinds have two pronounced flat bevels; a primary grind, and a secondary grind. A convex grind gradually gets steeper as the edge meets. The benefit of a flat grind is that it slices very well, and it is a very easy grind to sharpen in the field.
平磨在大多数方面与凸磨非常相似。 不同的是，平磨有两个明显的平面斜面；一个主磨，一个副磨。 凸面研磨随着边缘的相遇而逐渐变得陡峭。 平磨的好处是，它的切片效果非常好，而且是一种非常容易在现场研磨的刀刃。
**8 - Handle Scales **手柄材料
The handle scales are the primary material used for your knife handle. We only offer stable choices, so whether or not you select a synthetic or a natural material you can be sure that your handle is suitable for regular use in bushcraft.
刀柄料是你的刀柄所使用的主要材料。 我们只提供稳定的选择，所以无论你选择的是合成材料还是天然材料，你都可以确保你的手柄适合在Bushcraft中经常使用。
Synthetics are, of course, always going to be tougher and more weather-resistant than naturals. So if you’re going to be using a knife which you know will be subjected to water often, a synthetic handle is your best bet.
当然，合成材料总是要比天然材料更坚硬，更耐候。 因此，如果你要使用一把你知道会经常遇到水的刀，合成材料的手柄是你最好的选择。

**10 - Handle Liners **手柄衬垫
The handle liners are the strips of material which run between the blade steel and the handle scale material. Liners are dominantly a visual preference thing, though they can add a very slight degree of strength by absorbing some of the shock from chopping or batonning (the thicker 1⁄8 inch liners may provide more shock absorption). The second liner runs between the first liner and the handle scale material, and is purely for aesthetics.
手柄衬里是在刀身和手柄刻度材料之间的材料条。 内衬主要是一种视觉上的偏好，尽管它们可以通过吸收一些劈砍或击打的冲击力来增加非常轻微的强度（更厚的1/8英寸内衬可以提供更多的冲击吸收）。 第二层衬垫在第一层衬垫和手柄刻度材料之间，纯粹是为了美观。

**11 - Bolts & Tube **螺栓和管子
Loveless bolts are our hardware, of course because they securely fasten on the handle scales with clamping stability. We currently have two options, brass and aluminum. Brass has a more traditional look, aluminum matches the color of the steel blade better. In terms of performance, they are equal, but aluminum hardware does reduce the weight a bit.
乐福里斯螺栓是我们的硬件，当然是因为它们能安全地固定在手柄刻度上，具有夹持稳定性。 我们目前有两种选择，黄铜和铝。 黄铜有一个更传统的外观，铝与钢刀的颜色更匹配。 就性能而言，它们是平等的，但铝制五金件确实减少了一些重量。
14 - Logo
We have two different logos that may be placed on the knife. The more subtle option is the company name on the spine. The more decorative option is our circular landscape logo to be placed on the satin flats of the knife.
我们有两种不同的标识可以放在刀上。更微妙的选择是将公司名称放在书脊上。 更具装饰性的选择是将我们的圆形景观标志放在刀的缎面上。

**15 - Matching Firesteel **匹配的打火棒
A firesteel is a metal-blend rod which can be struck to create sparks. A dedicated striker can be used to strike the firesteel, though the spines of our knives are a crisp 90 degree angle for throwing sparks as well. Our matching firesteels are 3 x 3⁄8 inch long, and the handle is made of material which matches your knife handle.
打火棒是一种金属混合棒，可以通过敲击产生火花。 可以用一个专门的冲锋枪来击打火钢，尽管我们的刀刺是一个清晰的90度角，也可以投掷火花。 我们的配套火钢是3 x 3/8英寸长，手柄是由与你的刀柄相匹配的材料制成。
Note: As of 2020 matching firesteels are ordered separate from the knife. [Visit this link for more information]
16 - Sheath Type 刀鞘类型
We make handmade custom leather sheaths in our shop for the knife at hand. Our leather sheaths are offered in right or left-handed variations. A right-handed sheath, when worn, will have the direction of the knife edge facing behind you
我们在店里为手头的刀制作手工定制的皮鞘。 我们的皮鞘有右手和左手之分。 右手使用的刀鞘，在佩戴时，刀刃的方向会朝向你身后。
17 - Sheath Color刀鞘颜色
We offer three different sheath colors; chestnut brown (a medium brown), dark brown, black, and burgundy.
我们提供三种不同的护套颜色；栗棕色（中度棕色）、深棕色、黑色和勃艮第色。
18 - Sheath Additions 鞘配饰
Optional add-on’s are available for our custom leather sheaths.我们的定制皮鞘可以选择附加装置。
Firesteel loops are designed to hold a 3⁄8 diameter firesteel or sharpening rod.火钢圈的设计是为了容纳3/8直径的火钢或磨刀棒。
Removable danglers allow your knife to ride lower. This can be helpful if you find that your backpacking hip belt jabs the top of your knife and sheath, and you want it to ride lower to prevent this. The dangler can be added or removed with a simple screw-in pin.可拆卸的吊环可以让你的刀骑得更低。 如果你发现你的背包腰带刺伤了你的刀和刀鞘的顶部，而你想让它骑得更低以防止这种情况，这可能会有帮助。 悬挂器可以通过一个简单的螺丝钉来添加或移除。_Firesteel loop
