The team is formed

June 2020 - March 2021

Marco Guldimann and Tobias Hangler both first pursued their own approaches of improving existing carbon steels in the belief that there must be a better steel before they joined forces in June 2020. With their united efforts the project gained a lot more traction and they started to think bigger than just to produce performance steel for themselves. After exploring many different options and directions from powder metallurgical production to more conventional production processes they wanted to verify their ideas by another external party – so they contacted Dr. Larrin Thomas from knifesteelnerds.com who recently published the book “knife engineering”. The conversation soon turned into a productive discussion of ideas and Larrin became involved in the project as well in March 2021.
