The spine is .125\" thick, which is on the thin side for a fixed blade and helps it slice cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat steel is used in the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mahi Mahi GCarta Blue PVD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mahi Mahi GCarta Blue PVD uses CPM MagnaCut, hardened to 63–64 HRC. MagnaCut was designed by metallurgist Larrin Thomas to be tough, hold an edge well, and resist rust better than most knife steels, and Leucadia heat treats it using the protocol he developed. PVD is a thin, hard coating applied in a vacuum chamber. Here it gives the blade a blue color and adds some scratch and corrosion resistance on top of the steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat handle material does the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mahi Mahi GCarta Blue PVD have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mahi Mahi GCarta Blue PVD has a Mahi Mahi GCarta handle. GCarta is made by layering colored fabric and resin, then pressing it into a solid block. It doesn't mind getting wet, it stays grippy, and the layers are what give it the pattern. Leucadia shapes the handle to lock into your hand when it's wet or cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho makes the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mahi Mahi GCarta Blue PVD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeucadia Blade Co designed the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mahi Mahi GCarta Blue PVD, and Pro-Tech Knives makes it in the USA.
