Chimpanzee Gen3 DC53 Steel Custom Knife

The Chimpanzee Gen3 is a heavy-duty custom knife built for raw chopping power and exceptional edge retention – only one unit remains in stock. Its massive 268 mm blade (50 mm wide, 6.8 mm thick) is precision wire-cut from Tiangong DC53 steel, a tool steel known for outperforming D2 in both toughness and wear resistance. Through vacuum oil‑quenching and multiple tempering cycles, the blade achieves a formidable 61 ± 1 HRC hardness while maintaining structural integrity. The satin + mirror polish finish gives the blade a dual character: a refined, reflective gleam that still stands up to serious work. The secondary bevel edge grind delivers aggressive cutting and chopping performance. The handle features a one‑piece integrated black G10 construction with high‑strength screws and a rust‑resistant textured finish – ergonomic, bombproof, and comfortable even under heavy use. A 2Cr13 stainless steel guard adds protection and balance. At 410 mm overall (approx. 142 mm handle) and 680 g net weight, the Chimpanzee Gen3 arrives in a premium black presentation box with blade maintenance oil and paracord – a ready‑to‑deploy brute that combines mirror‑polished elegance with uncompromising fieldwork capability.
