AEBL Stainless
A high-performance alloy renowned for its exceptional edge retention and toughness, making it a popular choice for knife blades. Developed by Uddeholm, it combines a fine grain structure with a balanced composition of carbon and chromium, providing excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. AEBL is often compared to 440B or 13C26 steel, excelling in applications requiring a keen edge and durability.

Micarta
A durable, lightweight composite material made by impregnating layers of fabric, paper, or other substrates with resin and compressing them under heat and pressure. Originally developed as an industrial insulating material, it is now widely used for knife handles, tool grips, and other applications requiring strength and a textured surface. Micarta is valued for its excellent grip, even when wet, and its unique appearance, which can vary depending on the materials and resins used in its construction.

Quinn Knives' take:
The Shrike was a late-2022 model release from Cur Custom and it's quickly become one of his most popular models. The smaller overall size, coupled with a full tang and stout blade shape, allow the Shrike to fit a multitude of roles, all while maintaining a great price point. I absolutely love the "Golden Trout" theme that Greg did on this one, making it really stand out from the crowd. Perfect gift for the angler in the family!
