New to Knives? You’re in the Right Place.

Don’t know the difference between D2 and 14C28N? Wondering what G10 is—or why there seem to be 47 different ways to lock a pocket knife?

You’re not alone. And you don’t need to be a knife expert to enjoy a good knife.

The Golgotha Beginner’s Guide to Knives is here to make things simple. We’ll walk you through blade steels, handle materials, blade shapes, locking systems, knife terminology, care and maintenance, and more—without making you feel like you need a metallurgy degree to understand it.

Everybody starts somewhere. Ask questions, learn a little, and before long you’ll be the one explaining to somebody else what all those letters and numbers mean.

Welcome to knives. It’s a pretty fun rabbit hole.
