But it is relevant to this threadI have posted pics of many of my knives (Tops, Becker, Esee, etc.) I'm not about to dig them all out again to snap pics just to appease you, and that aren't relevant to this thread.
My parang have lot of proof on blade how much it was used . So let us to see your hard-used knives ?
But it is relevant to this thread
Sure , whatever you say
And yes do that , I will be glad to be in the company of those *Idiots*
Sure , whatever you say
PS, Do you like to SEE how look used knife ?
Demagogy. Never copy/pasted. How low can you go in accusations?
Stay tuned. Estimate launch of new product is late spring.
There is more.This is all I found here on BladeForums:
Bush Ulite, O2, new and interesting approach to knifemaking
My first here. ULTIBLADE, where life starts @60 HRC, a new approach to knives. Ergo handles, ultimate heat treatment and new materials. Small, big and in between. From heavy to ultralites. Model: Bush Ulite Size: L: 4.7", 120mm; thickness 6mm Steel - O2, case and handle scales - PCTG (vs Kydex...www.bladeforums.com
Skeleton multipurpose 6"
No art, made for hard use from -100°C to over 150°C. From polar to max heat a human can handle this one will acompany you. 6mm O2, 62HRC, Cerakote Tungsten coating Skeleton lite design but with enough strength for tough tasks. Ergo handle angled for max power transfer from hand to blade Holster...
That's impossible. Interesting life choice, tho.
I have a few old testers at this moment to show. All is in storage. Moving to another country maybe. Feel free to call up when in the hood.
No worry man. Never saw hand made knives before so it'll be something new to me. My exams are ending soon so I'll have time.
To define things better as I think this is your goal. A 1095 KNIFE can be tougher than a 3v KNIFE.
Exactly. As a knife is more than just a type of steel, and toughness is just one of the properties a knife has.
Declining to the right means that toughness decreases as hardness increases for every steel type.
And that is the * name of the game * for any steel out there .
They certainly know their geometry.
Well toughness and hardness both play a part in this. Blades intended to be tough are usually not run at high hardness, a blade treated to high hardness can resist breaking beyond the point where a lower hardness blade would break. Toughness enters into this in 2 different ways- if a blade has geometry that causes stress concentrations (stress risers) it can initiate a fracture there at a relatively low point, higher toughness steels would resist this. The other influence of toughness is what happens when a blade reaches its stress limits- with low toughness the blade would break, with high toughness the blade would bend (or the edge would roll).
Not everybody knows the geometry that is required, and/or those issues don't fit in with their design or manufacturing. For instance a hidden tang knife can have a fracture point where the tang goes through the guard. Does everybody know how to mitigate this? Are they willing to take the additional steps during manufacture to mitigate this? This is just one example- pins through handle scales, holes in blades, choils, jimping, lots of things like can affect the strength of a blade. Edge geometry is another factor- we know what edge geometry resists chipping but it doesn't cut very well and may not work with the blade grind that they want in their design.
