Tread Knives
The Tread Skiver Knives shown here are made from AISI A-2 tool steel. The fact that A-2 contains 5% chromium does not make it a true stainless steel, but it resists rust. At 52 RC hardness, these are the best knives on the market. In addition, these knives are available in other air-hardening grades of tool steel upon request.

OPTIONAL EDGE TREATMENTS:
  8 radial slots-1/8"w x 1 1/2"d
drilled and slotted as pictured
Tungsten Carbide Plating
Teflon Coating
 


   


Alcon tread skivers are dished 1/64" so that the flat side does not become convex at high speeds, and static lateral runout (wobble) is less than .005".
