Recently, I’ve got my eye on a folder in one of the “super hard” steels, like the Rex steels, s110, s125v, etc, etc. One that really stuck out to me was the Maxace Killer Whale in ASP-60. ASP-60 is a really uncommon steel, but according to knife Nerds, it can get to over 220 on a CATRA (@68 RC).
Given that the killer whale is a large titanium frame lock with a design that I liked, I was kinda hooked.
And then I started thinking about the heat treat. Especially with such a rare and extreme steel, the HT is extremely important, and I’ve been hearing things about Maxace’s HT.
Opinions? Thoughts?
