Linder Super Edge 7 Joe Vogel Evo-X ATS 34: Advanced Bushcraft and Hunting Knife

The Linder Super Edge 7 Joe Vogel Evo-X combines Joe Vogel's Evolution knife concept, developed over more than 15 years, with the proven Super Edge handle and an elaborately refined ATS-34 blade. In collaboration with Swiss steel and knife expert Roman Kasé, the blade treatment, grind, and geometry were specifically designed for high cutting performance while maintaining a robust blade.

ATS 34 with special heat treatment

The 11.8 cm long blade is made of Japanese ATS 34 steel and is produced using a special heat treatment process. Following quenching, the blade undergoes a cryogenic treatment at below -80 °C before being tempered. This reduces retained austenite, which is intended to contribute to increased edge retention and less burr formation during sharpening. At 60–61 HRC, the blade can still be easily resharpened with standard whetstones.

Sophisticated blade geometry for bushcraft and hunting

Before applying the cutting edge, the blade is ground to zero. The resulting hybrid of saber and Scandi grind combines a primary grind of 9° per side with a slightly convex micro-bevel of 20° per side. This creates a highly effective geometry for cutting that is suitable for both woodworking and hunting tasks. The thin blade geometry behind the cutting edge supports easy slicing, while the false edge behind the point facilitates dressing game during hunting tasks.

Super-Ergo handle made of TPE

The 11.7 cm long handle is made of durable TPE with a diamond pattern. The material provides a secure grip even with wet or sweaty hands and remains comfortably tactile in cold weather. At the same time, it is resistant to oils, greases, and solvents, highly abrasion-resistant, and easy to clean.

Entirely manufactured in Solingen

Like the other knives in the Super Edge series, the Evo-X is manufactured entirely in Solingen. Production is carried out with experienced Solingen partners using a combination of careful handiwork and modern technology. The final wet honing is also performed with particular care so that the steel structure achieved through the heat treatment is preserved right up to the edge.
