To all of the knife makes out there:
I'm looking for someone to make me an improved blade for my Benchmade Mini Bugout. The factory uses S30V for the blade. I’d like a replacement blade with made from a harder, higher-carbide steel like S110V (or even S125V), hardened to around RC 64 to hold an edge better. The blade would have to work perfectly with the existing Benchmade Axis Lock. I was thinking of simpler variation of the existing blade, which is 0.09" thick, 2.8" long, and 0.88" wide.
I have gone through the Blade Forums list of knife makers. I only found a few that make custom blades and used S110V or a similar alloy, and none of them are taking orders. If you or a colleague do this kind of work, please let me know. Thanks.
