Greetings all,
For all those that have asked 'What's the best...,' in terms of heavy duty camp-type knives, for me at least, the question has been answered: the Nexus Spartaco by Molletta. You know him as a member here and for the likes of knives from LionSteel and others.
Per Mr. Molletta himself, the specs:
- Spartaco Was produced in 77 pieces:
-- Only 13 have blue handle g10
-- others have g11 green handle.
-- 10 have sculptured G11 handle.
-- G11 is a certified epossidic/glass fiber similar to G10 bat have some different performance like resistance to fire at temperature.
- 8 inch blade WP7v.. 57 hrc.
-- WP7v is a tool steel produced by Dorremberf Sthal in Germany. Is similar to chipper, infi.... Is not produced in sheet so was sawed block to
have sheet like Carthago.
:thumbup:
Was the last Nexus project. After this the group is inactive.
It is quite simply, and AWESOME blade. Now to have a custom sheath made up for it, and put it to good use.
Couple Vids showing what these knives can do...yeah, I think its tough enough:thumbup::
Batoning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuxx6hlhHeA
Being pressed via vice through steel rod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MVKLP45A_I
Chopping up a brick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRbOjphUdeM
Included a few photos, as well as one of its brother, the Nexus Centurione, a standout in its own right.
