Affordable Tungsten Carbide Knife From Sandrin – SHOT Show 2019
Updated: January 29, 2019Sandrin Knives has been making extremely high quality (and high priced) knives with tungsten carbide blades for some time. These knives are beautiful and it’d be a pleasure to own them, especially paired with a Cabot pistol with matching grips. However, with price tags over $1500, they aren’t for everyone’s budget. Their new TCK 416 on the other hand, brings the benefits of tungsten carbide blades and delivers for just as little as $149.
