JINGLIN × BOWEN | M390 Powder Steel Professional Leathercraft Knife Engineered for Mastery. Built for the Bench. Developed in collaboration with BOWEN, this professional-grade leather knife is designed for makers who prioritize control, edge quality, and industrial-tier reliability. We’ve eliminated the gimmicks to deliver a tool that excels in precision cutting, skiving, and detailed leatherwork. Core Performance Features Böhler M390 Microclean Steel Forged from premium Austrian M390 powder metallurgy steel, this blade offers world-class wear resistance. It maintains a "surgical" edge significantly longer than traditional carbon steels, even when working with high-density, oil-tanned, or heavy veg-tan leathers. Precision Heat Treatment (HRC 60–62) The blade is vacuum heat-treated to a hardness of HRC 60–62. This specific calibration ensures the edge is hard enough for absolute sharpness while remaining tough enough to resist chipping during demanding tasks. African Purple Sandalwood Handle The handle is crafted from high-density Purple Sandalwood, chosen for its stability and natural resistance to moisture. The ergonomic profile provides a solid, reassuring weight that reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions. Hybrid Guard: 304 Stainless & H62 Brass The guard combines SUS304 Stainless Steel and H62 Brass. This isn't just an aesthetic choice—it acts as a counterweight to optimize the knife's center of gravity, offering a balanced "pivot point" for delicate curves and corner work. Hand-Finished Stone Texture Each knife undergoes a meticulous hand-polishing process. The fine stone-texture finish reduces surface friction, allowing the 2.0mm blade to glide through leather with minimal resistance and maximum consistency.
