Zedteq Hunting Knives

Darren Englebretsen, New Zealand



Features of Zedteq Hunting Knives

  • Materials


  • Made of heat treated high carbon steel : a time-proven steel for making quality knives.

    Hardwood handles : a natural material, attractive and durable.

  • Design and construction


  • Hollow ground : gives good cutting ability with ease of sharpening.

    Inletted half tang construction : lightweight with good balance.

    Simple handle design : comfortable in use.

    Flat sided handles : help prevent the knife twisting in the hand.

    A range of designs attractive and useful to the New Zealand hunter.

    Deep pouch type leather sheath : allows quick access yet the knife is held securely.

  • Heat Treatment


  • Hardened and tempered to Rockwell C 58 : good edge holding combined with ease of sharpening.

    Double tempered : improved blade toughness compared to single tempering.

    All heat treating is done in house : complete control over this critical step in manufacture.

    I have a Chemistry PhD with work experience in corrosion and materials science : have studied and understand the heat treating process and other chemical aspects of metals, adhesives and materials.

  • Quality Control


  • All manufacturing is done under one roof : assured quality control.

    Hand made and finished : each knife is individually inspected before release for sale.

    Extensive development including destructive testing : design, heat treatment and production processes have been verified thoroughly.
