Acadia - Mother of Pearl & Abalone
Forged from HWS-1 a high-alloy steel proprietary to Hanwei, formulated for toughness, abrasion resistance (edge-holding) and corrosion resistance. The frame is built in solid stainless steel with a Mother of Pearl and Abalone handle inlay. An innovative feature on this model is the use of Hanwei’s electroformed engraving.
Commenting on the quality of the Rock Creek line, CAS Hanwei’s president, Barry Ross, stated that the company’s aim was to isolate its knives from the stereotypical conception of Chinese-made knives: “Although many major manufacturers are now sourcing knives in China,” he said, “the image of low quality/low cost persists and we have taken major steps to set our line apart from this image. Hanwei, because of the scarcity of clean high-alloy cutlery steels from domestic suppliers, is melting its own steels and producing superior blade materials with excellent edge-holding and toughness characteristics. Additionally, trading on its sword making capabilities, Hanwei is able to forge knife blades, a quality feature now available only from custom makers and semi-custom manufacturers in the commercial sporting knife market.”
