Yar, Moose on deck, reporting for duty sir.
The Bushcraft Triflex steel is a very awesome knife. I've batoned through some seasoned red oak, made some of the finest fuzzies I've ever done. I haven't tried the drive it into a tree and stand on it (never will, thats just stupid), but other than that, I think the Triflex steel is great.
Bad pic, but I made the pile of shavings, and struck steel with it. I will say, according to the designer of the Bushcraft series (I met him at SMKW on rep day), the spine is supposed to be squared for steel striking. It is not, its rounded just like the other moras are.
When I first started using it, it seemed to chip and roll out when I was making a bowdrill kit. I looked into it, because Triflex is supposed to be pretty tough. Turns out, like my other mora, the polishing compound, and highspeed buffing wheels they use, causes the outer layer of metal to turn into a softer coating on the outside. I hit the bench stone, and in a little while, I was down to the good steel. Now, its one sharp Swede, for sure.
They also have the Bushcraft Survival out now, its a Triflex, with a Black handle, black sheath, and a firesteel holder on it. I got to get one of those too.
I love the Triflex, and so far, I've pushed it past where I have taken my other moras, and its taken it in stride.
