The laser heat treated cutting lasts longer and the high carbon C1080 steel provides superior performance on the job. It is specially coated for ultimate rust prevention. Not all cutting edges are the same. Only CHANNELLOCK uses precision machined knife and anvil style cutting edges to ensure ideal mating and great cutting edge life.
