Carry Solutions
A fixed blade knife only worth as much as the sheath and carry method. One of the biggest addded value for any fixed blade knife is a solution which enables the user to carry his/her knife. In order to support the end user we keep a wide variety of carry options in stock.
ULTICLIP
GZ Custom Blades is an official vendor for Ulticlip products. As an end user i carry blades with Ulticlip for years, and for our blades we realized that the best option is the Ulticlip 3.3 slim for Inside the Waistband Carry (IWB) and Ulticlip XL is the optimal solution for duty/Outside the Waistband Carry (OWB)
BLADE TECH Molle Lock

What the ratings mean
Toughness
How well the edge and blade resist chipping and breaking under impact, twisting and batoning.
Edge retention
How long the edge keeps cutting before it needs sharpening.
Corrosion resistance
How well the blade resists rust from sweat, blood, humidity and salt water.
Ease of sharpening
How quickly you can bring the edge back on ordinary stones in the field.
Toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance figures are sourced from metallurgist Larrin Thomas's independently tested ratings at Knife Steel Nerds — "Knife Steels Rated by a Metallurgist" (unnotched Charpy toughness, CATRA edge retention, salt-spray corrosion testing). Ease of sharpening is GZ Custom Blades' own field estimate and isn't part of that dataset.
All steels side by side
Toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance run 0–10 and are Larrin Thomas's published, independently tested ratings (see source above), not GZ Custom Blades' own numbers. Ease of sharpening is GZ Custom Blades' own field estimate. * CPM MagnaMax, A8 Mod and Titanium Gr5 are not covered in Larrin's published ratings — their toughness/edge/corrosion figures are GZ Custom Blades' own estimates instead. Every steel is a trade-off: gaining in one column costs in another. Edge geometry, heat treatment and how you use the knife matter as much as the steel itself.
