This is a good article about the different steel used in the the Li'Jo Shovel and the Knife's that I offer on my site. I've have had a fair amount of questions about the steel used in my products and I felt this article should address allot of them. There is many other sites that talk about these steels. 

The Li'Jo Shovel uses 3CrMOV steel in it's blade
The camping knife uses 2Cr steel in the accessories ie. spoon / fork  and 3CrMOV for the blade
The 7 function knife uses 8Cr14MOV steel

MD = Machine Direction, CD = Cross Direction

Flammability: Clean untreated Tyvek® shrinks away from the heat of an open flame without igniting. It will begin to shrink at 244°F (118°C) or melt until 275°F (135°C). Its auto-ignition temperature is 650°F (343°C) Inquiries about the flammability of specific styles and their applications should be directed to a DuPont representative.

 

Going live with our first product, the Trifecta!

I'm very excited to offer the Trifecta. It fills a need and is smart with it's multipurpose functionality.

Please stay tune for more products in the near future.
