Knasa Knife - Is this mostly hype?

[St33L]

The so-called "Knasa" knife on Kickstarter makes all sorts of claims but those claims are very general.

It says it's 5x sharper out of the box, but a lot of that has to do with safety and the angle of the grind, which many knives can match.

It's 2x stronger than titanium, but aren't super steels much stronger than that? What alloy is it anyway?

Some suit with money decided it would be a good idea to start a knife business who's success is based off of people's ignorance about cutlery. Better yet, he needs donations from other people for further success

Don't believe any of the claims and marketing. Someone couldn't pay me to own one...

But it's still a distant second to this gem of a Kickstarter request. Esav edited the link out long ago, but needless to say, none of his projects have ever been funded.

They're bonding the 'patented alloy' to stainless steel and a hardness of hrc 70. I can believe it's a fine knife, but there are many other fine knives. These things have been coming up regularly since the Ninja Knife, which sliced a tomato better than a karate chop. It's all marketing and not much else.

Man, that's a good read

So there's 3 to 4 mm of this mystery steel bonded to a presumably cheap stainless steel. If these were being used for anything more strenuous than cutting vegetables I imagine we would see a lot of them failing at the bonding (welding?) point.

I think this is exactly what we should have expected once Kickstarter started allowing knives to be proposed.

Kickstarter, lol.

Just google 'Skully HUD helmet.'

Smells like a gigantic bubbling, festering crock pot full of crap.

Saw that one the other day, definitely a crock. Guys are all marketing.

twice as strong as titanium.

phht. Stainless steel is stronger than titanium on a volume basis.

420 knife with some kind of low cost surface treatment
The guy who made this kickstart is profiteering from the ill informed

9 out of 7 NASA astro-nots endorse the use of this knife 65% of the time every time.
