EAGIS COMPACT from Raid-Ops.

[Death's Head]

Here's my newest one from Raid-Ops.
Very interesting tool. The steel is S30V, but the cool thing is the handles. Made from thick slabs of titanium! The texturing on the slabs provides optimum grip!

What's it's purpose? Those handle bolts could sure hurt if you had to grip it hard. JL

 

[Death's Head]

There's a pry bar, saw, and bottle opener. This tool will serve me well when camping. The handles feels fine. You don't even notice the bolts.

Does it have a cutting edge?

 

[Death's Head]

There is a saw edge.

For a pry bar, why S30V at 60 RC if there's no 'true' cutting edge? They making beer caps tougher these days?

 

[Death's Head]

You use a pry bar to open beer???

How this thing works???

 

[knarfeng]

It's a pretty thing. But I'm not sure I would buy a prybar made from S30V. Maybe not the most effective use of materials. If it does not have a cutting edge, I see no benefit in using an expensive steel whose primary strength is edge retension. just MO. But it sure is pretty.

Raid-Ops has some coooool stuff!! That is great tool you got DH.

I was referring to the bottle-opener notch on the top of your pry bar... for my own personal bottle-opening needs, I tend to favor the low 10-series steels (1060 or 1055) ran in the low-to-mid 50's RC. S2 and S7 also serve very well when confronted with an especially tough bottle of beer.

I don't know, it's not to my tastes.

 

[Death's Head]

I had a choice in either 440B or S30V. Raid-Ops told me that those steels costs the same. Well, I though S30V would serve better for this tool.
Next is to get a real knife with the same style handle!

 

[T.K.C.]

Good choice on the S30V!!

 

[Death's Head]

Thanks TKC! See ya around!

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Given the option between 440B and S30V, I would have made the same choice you did.

 

[T.K.C.]

That is really a wicked cool tool DH!! I like it a lot.
