While I have not had much time to put this knife through any hard use, I am certain it will fare well. The Steel Will Onrush 632S sports a N6490Co steel, an Austrian steel similar to 440c though the finer grain structure is said to take and hold a better edge longer. For this reason, 154CM steel has long been a favorite on my mine. My personal preferences for blade steel tend to be ones one which hold a good edge but also allow a fairly quick and painless resharpening.

The edge was shaving sharp and came out of box with a traditional V-grind. Inspecting the entire length of the blade, I found the grind basically perfect and consistent except for bit of deviation towards the tip. The 3D machined G10 handle scales have a great shape and tactile feel, not too aggressive like some other knives that can wear your pocket out in a matter of days. The initial unboxing of the the 632S Onrush made a positive quality impression. So you could say I went into to this review completely unbiased though armed with personal preferences for a blade suitable for every day carry. He said “absolutely” and gave me the green light.īefore this review I was unaware of the brand and had no preconceived likes or dislikes. When approached to review the Italian made Steel Will Knives Onrush 632S, I confirmed with SHWAT™ Chief Jonathan that he would allow me to write a honest and open review of my findings no matter the end result. When it comes to knives we all have preferences and specific wants and needs for the blade we carry. Like walking out the door without a cell phone in my pocket, I would feel naked without a knife in there, too. For me, knives are a part of everyday life. For example, it’s better to have a small gun than no gun for every day carry. But as a new knife company innovation is also a must.It can be said the greatest tool you have is the one with you at that moment in time. “We have great designers, so that’s never been a problem.

More combo-edged models are on the horizon but the company is cherry picking which ones will get the upgrade. Steel Will Knives has no immediate plans to introduce fully serrated blades. In March, a new version of the Censor fixed blade, with a partially-serrated karambit blade, will become the second model to feature the new edge design. Beyond a combo edge, other updates to the original include a PVD-coated clip and minor tweaks to the grip design and lockbar access. Designed for military, law enforcement, and first responders, the Onrush was an obvious choice for serrated variants. The new serrations with debut on the Onrush 632S (shown below), a revised version of the 612.

The smallest tooth initiates the cut and the bigger ones behind it accelerate cutting during a pull. Each tooth is ground in a different size, from the smallest toward the front to the biggest at the back. The company spent a year refining the patent pending serration and says it won’t be the last Steel Will invention to be announced this year. The move is designed to deliver on customer requests for serrated blades and further their reputation as an innovator. Steel Will is following up their new Ant-Lock mechanism with the debut of an original serration pattern designed to maximize the speed of each cutting motion.
