Hierarchy of FireFly© knives.
Bottom: Original FireFly© prototype manually machined and hand ground from O1 tool steel, by Rob Weir. Note: original is similar to current production FireFly© with modified Tanto shape, a high Scandi grind and protective coating applied after it was ground.
Second from bottom: Gen. 1 FireFly© note low Scandi grind,
O1 tool Steel. Note unprotected bevel is beginning to corrode.
Third from Bottom: Rob’s Every Day Carry Gen. 1 test knife. Note, Rob’s FireFly was custom ground to be a full flat Scandi grind. This enables the knife to have a finer edge and carve wood better. But it also weakens the blade. This grind also removes all the protective black oxide coating; so it corrodes much more easily. Especially when exposed to salt water as this one was, on a Baja sea-kayaking adventure 2017.
Top: Current production FireFly© black oxide plated after it is high Scandi ground, then the final sharpening is done by polishing the edge.
