Did I scare you with that one boys??? :eek:. . . . I know I sceeeaart myself !

So, what exactly is a Competition Grade Finish you may ask???. . . Purty darned ugly my friends. . . purty darned ugly!

When we run new designs for our destructive testing we don't worry too much about the finish. . . but boy can those puppies cut!!!. . . We put a zero convex bevel along the edge that screams!!!!. . .

We don't worry a bit about finish, since the name of the game is performance. . . We usually take a blade straight from the furnace and do a light pass on a wheel and then it's all about the edge. . . .

It is difficult to put this type of edge on a regularly finished knife since the edge finishing process usually rides up fairly high on the bevel. :eek: . . .Very cool!!! :cool:

We leave behind all of the peen marks, INFI dimples, and anything else that might be there. Sometimes we double cut them before edging. . .sometimes we don't. There is no set criteria as to how ugly these blades can get. . . .

Handles can be a bit rough as well. . . .fit and finish? . . . Uh, probably not gonna find it here kids.

These are beaters of the first degree. . . You'll never have to worry about marring up the finish. . . because we've already done that for you!

So, I guess the question is. . . If we priced these near the regular combat grade price point, would you be interested in buying one?

Here's a pic of the Jack Hammer with the Competition Grade Finish:

One Jack Hammer please! Looks like the orange/black, double cut BATAC with a Swedge I just got. (minus the CBT of course)
 
:cool: Not yeah, but HELL YES. :thumbup: Makes a great user, I'd say! :D:thumbup:
 
BTW, lot's a hogs have been either paying to put that type of finish on or putting a lot of elbow grease in to achieve that.
 
Ohh yes. I would buy some! Like you said Boss HOG, it's all about the performance:cool::thumbup:
 
Heck ya! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

This makes them cooler - The Destructor Series!



I mean pre-made USERS!! OHHH YAAA! :D:D:D
 
Must be somthing Wrong with me, I think that's a pretty Good looking knife.

Handle slabs would need to be addressed.

What Models would these be available in?

I would like the one for the Pork Belly Skinner perhaps?
 
You had me at...zero convex bevel along the edge...!

I would like to see this as an option for sure. I sort of like the INFI pits, but how is she going to handle moisture Jerry?
