Frequently Asked Questions

Is D2 steel good for knife blades?

D2 is widely used for knife blades because it offers good wear resistance and edge retention. Its performance also depends on heat treatment, blade geometry and edge finishing.

How much is a Rambo knife worth?

There is no single market value for a knife described as a “Rambo knife.” Value depends on the specific maker, model, materials, age, condition, provenance and whether it is a collectible or custom piece.

Is it illegal to have a Rambo knife?

There is no single U.S. rule covering every knife called a “Rambo knife.” Knife restrictions can vary by state and locality and may depend on the knife's design, carry method and circumstances. Check the applicable law for the specific jurisdiction.

Which steel is better, D2 or S30V?

Neither is universally better. D2 is a tool steel known for strong wear resistance and edge retention, while S30V is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel developed specifically for knife applications and generally offers higher corrosion resistance. The better choice depends on the intended use, heat treatment and maintenance.
