HS-945 Custom Hand Forged 6.00" J2 Tool Steel Ceramic Coating Bull Cutter Knife

J2 Tool Steel Bull Cutter Knife – Built for the Field

This is a working knife. Forged from J2 tool steel and finished with a ceramic coating, the HS-945 is made for people who use their blades hard and expect them to hold up. At 6 inches overall with a 3-inch blade, it sits comfortably on a belt and handles cleanly in the hand.

The ceramic coating protects the steel from moisture and surface wear without adding bulk. The edge comes sharpened at 20 degrees — a practical angle that holds well through extended use and sharpens back quickly on a rod or stone.

Specifications

The Steel

J2 tool steel is a high-carbon alloy used in industrial cutting applications. It takes a sharp edge and holds it through real work — not just light use. Oil tempering brings the blade to 58–60 HRC, which is the range where a working blade performs best: hard enough to stay sharp, tough enough to resist chipping.

The Ceramic Coating

Applied after tempering, the ceramic coating adds a matte, non-reflective finish and a barrier against humidity and light surface oxidation. It keeps the blade looking clean and performing well in outdoor conditions without requiring constant maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is J2 tool steel?
J2 is a high-carbon tool steel alloy known for edge retention and toughness. It performs reliably in field conditions and is straightforward to resharpen.

What does the ceramic coating do?
It adds a thin protective layer over the blade that reduces surface friction and provides light corrosion resistance — useful for outdoor use in variable weather.

Does this knife come with a sheath?
Yes. A custom original leather sheath and a sharpener are included with every order.
