Getting an edge in tough conditions

As the General Manager of Fechner Brothers, Steven Fechner knows all about tough conditions.

"FirstCut is the only edge that will carve out this hard clay like butter," Steven explains.

This level of performance is the result of through-hardened DH-3 and thicker DH-2 steel, providing balanced, equal wear across all cutting edges.
